The two landmarked and formerly crumbling twin houses at 578 and 580 Carlton Avenue in Prospect Heights have come a long way since we last checked in February. The house on the left, No. 580, now has a fully rebuilt cornice. Meanwhile, No. 578, on the right, is being wrapped in insulation prior to getting a new facade.

It’s great to see these houses being rebuilt, after one partially collapsed and the other was reduced to little more than a facade. Architect Rachel Frankel is handling the Landmarks-approved restoration of both properties, as we have noted before. The houses are located between St. Marks and Bergen.
