Closing Bell: Beautiful in Bushwick

We went for a little driving tour around Bushwick a couple of weeks ago. The highlight of the day was undoubtably this little two-story brick treasure that feels like a carriage house but, judging from the original arched windows and arched lintels (is that the right term?), it never was. A Google search suggests that it’s currently the headquarters for an elevator company but the building appears to be part of a larger parcel that includes an empty lot to the left of the building. According to PropertyShark, the property was purchased a year ago for $1,600,000, a price that suggests the new owners are going to do more than just sit on it. If that’s the case, let’s hope they have they have mercy on this building. GMAP P*Shark
