FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

The complex's tower on Lafayette Avenue

The American Bank Note Company Printing Plant is a repurposed complex of three
interconnected buildings in the Hunts Point neighborhood of the Bronx in New
York City. The innovative Kirby, Petit & Green design was built in 1909–1911 by
the American Bank Note Company on land which had previously been part of Edward
G. Faile's country estate. A wide variety of financial instruments were printed
there; at one point, over five million documents were produced per day,
including half the securities traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Although
the plant printed currency for many countries around the world, it was best
known for producing Latin American banknotes, which led to it being the target
of a FALN terrorist bombing in 1977. The facility was used by American Bank Note
until about 1984, after which it was sold, redeveloped as commercial space,
subdivided, and designated a New York City landmark. Major tenants include a
charter school and the New York City Human Resources Administration.

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

The crested caracara (Caracara plancus), also known as the Mexican eagle, is a
bird of prey in the family Falconidae. It is found throughout Central and South
America, with a maximum range extending north to Minnesota and south to Tierra
del Fuego. A bold, opportunistic raptor, it is often seen walking around on the
ground looking for food. It mainly feeds on the carcasses of dead animals, but
steals food from other raptors, raids bird and reptile nests, and takes live
prey if the possibility arises. This adult crested caracara was photographed in
the Serra da Canastra National Park, Brazil.
