Brooklyn

For a small street in the Columbia Waterfront District, Degraw sure has a lot of construction going on, most of it not pretty. Clockwise from upper left, you’re looking at 140, 130 and 129 Degraw. Number 140 is probably the most “interesting” of the three, but we’d be curious to know whether this was necessary surgery mere architectural whim; Number 130 looks better in this photo than we remember it feeling in person, but at least there are big windows and relatively high ceilings. The real head scratcher is Number 129, which looks like some strange attempt to create private mews, but Warren Place it is not. GMAP
