Yes, it is one of the Holland Tunnel ventilators.  The pier on the
Manhattan side is gone...  BTW, the tunnel is named for Clifford Holland,
who was the civil engineer in charge of its construction.  He died shortly
before it opened, so they dedicated it in his memory.

the water. It is made of concrete, the top is kind of "H" shaped and it
has three long vertical window looking things. Am I crazy or does this
thing still stand? Not the whole building but the end part?  Every time I
go to Hoboken I walk out by the water near track 17 and look out over the
river for A while, I always thought this thing was used to load something
into boats, but it doesn't look like that here. Anyone know what this
thing was?
