Wood Frame on Double Lot Demo'd on Decatur

The dilapidated and empty, partially detached wood frame house at 447 Decatur in Bed Stuy was being demolished over the summer, and when we passed by recently, it was completely gone. Brookland Capital is planning a four-story, six-unit apartment building on the double wide lot, which it purchased for $995,000 in January, as we reported previously.

The firm has applied to turn the lot into two, so we presume Brookland is planning a second building identical to the first, but we can’t find any record of the property at the DOB yet.

The property sits between an apartment building and the recently restored Evelyn F. Veres house at 451 Decatur, which was pictured in Dinanda Nooney’s 1978 photographs of Brooklyn.
