Says a reader: “There was once a perfectly good federal brick townhouse at 11 Wyckoff Street in Boerum Hill. Now there is an ugly, seemingly over-height ‘Fedders Building.’ After months of demolition and construction, the scaffolding was recently taken down and the new building is a perfect case for landmarking.” Check out a picture of the brick townhouse once there after the jump.

  1. minard, I meant scale in the number of new buildings being developed and old buildings being converted (of course I thnk you knew that)
    Point is one nice new building built in downtown Albany (for example) can’t be compared to the thousands of buildings being built in NYC. then again you haven’t linked to even a single building that supports your contention that outside of NYC the architecture is “better”

  3. Amizill – Are you kidding?? Really!!!????
    you are citing a make believe village built in the middle of suburban Maryland right off the interstate as an example that we should be following in Brooklyn???
    I mean if you have to live in the suburbs I am sure these faux towns are great but come on, these faux-stones cost ONE million dollars and they are in the middle of nowhere, that isnt even comparable to urban brooklyn – but at least you get a pool and a clubhouse. Jeesh
