A reader noticed that scaffolding came down at 49 8th Avenue, the grand corner mansion at 49 8th Avenue. As our reader says, “The home has been undergoing a massive renovation for the past year and looks to be coming to an end soon. The scaffolding was removed last week, pointing of the brick and brownstone have been happening for the past couple weeks.” The home – previously owned by rock photographer David Gahr – was asking $3.2 million in 2009. It sold for $2,691,000 last year. Permits were approved for remedial repairs and reconfiguring the building. The work was done by Elizabeth Roberts Design.

  1. The work I assume was all interior.
    The facade looks a little splotchy and I notice the door and window surrounds were not restored, they look like they were squared off in the1950’s like so many others. Nice house though.
