With all our focus on the brownstones of Sherman Street or the newer developments like the Simone, it’s easy to forget about Windsor Terrace’s even earlier architectural heritage (which, we saw on Friday, is far from protected). Namely, the very modest wood frame houses that make streets like Greenwood Avenue (Church of the Holy Apostles, top left) and East 5th Street (bottom left) such special spots. A little later in time (1890s), the Engine Company 240, at 1309 Prospect Avenue, struts its Romanesque Revival stuff in the otherwise relatively modest nabe. More from Forgotten NY’s recent walk-through on the link.
