While no where near as badly off as the houses on Officers Row, Building 92 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard is in pretty serious need of a restoration. What a great building though! It has a pleasing symmetry and simplicity to it that make its year of origin a little hard to pinpoint. The doorway and lintels look straight out of an 1870′s brownstone, but the brick composition and lack of other design flourishes suggest a simpler (i.e. earlier) time. We haven’t been able to find any information about its history online and are hoping readers will be able to chip in.
