The project dubbed the Carlton Mews, which includes the creation of new a row of new townhouses on Carlton between Willoughby and Dekalb in addition to the condoization of the adjacent church at 232 Adelphi, suffered a set-back at Landmarks last month. Despite voicing support for the overall direction of the project, the committee took issue with the size and number of additions to the 1888 Church. Given the positive reception within the local community and preservation crowd in general, we bet it will be greenlighted next go-round. “This [project] could be a wonderful outcome for a site that we have worried would be compromised or destroyed,” said Phillip Kellogg, president of the Fort Greene Association.
