The building of the 28th Precinct by Lehrecke & Tonetti displays the formal restraint and material rhetoric of many municipal buildings of the early 1970s: a compact, cubic structure with clearly pronounced horizontality and a rhythmic façade structure. It is accentuated by a regular arrangement of window bands and individual structural cantilevers. The concrete was cast in place and features a board formwork pattern. The window arrangement features wide, rather low bands that are clearly set off from the massive concrete frame. Round building volumes contrast with the rectangular architecture in the form of a rotunda in the middle of the east side and a round staircase on the west side. The floor plan, including the parking lot, fits into a kind of triangular block island between St Nicholas Avenue, Frederick Douglass Boulevard, and West 123rd Street.

Still standing and in use as a police precinct (last updated on October 14, 2025).
