Where in Tribeca?

There may be more than a few 12s out there — but hoping this is the only one that looks just like this. (If you can recognize the object, this could be a fun hunt.) Where is it?

….Billy Buttons got it — on Desbrosses just off Hudson. Tiptoptribeca may have found another 12 on Vestry? The city’s Open Data system actually shows every hydrant in the city, but I am not sure how they are labeled. Here’s the data on this one:
