Ode to 135 Joralemon
Blogger Heading East writes a lovely tribute to 135 Joralemon Street. Waxing nostalgic, he concludes:
"Someone seems to be working on the house now. I know it won't happen, but part of me wishes it could be put on a truck and sent out to the countryside where it could breath again." More at the link.

The photo is not from the 1870s.

I live in this neighborhood too, and about a month or so ago, I walked by the house to see two police cars, lots of yellow tape and a very loud argument between some cops and an old guy standing on the porch. The next morning, the front yard was filled with furniture and trash. Anyone know the full story of what happened? I presume an eviction of some sort.

According to this link, a New Year's Eve fire did the damage

I worked at the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission for a few years (which was a few years ago) and dealt with the owners of this wonderful building. It was an elderly couple who also owned a few other buildings in the area - a former carriage house around the corner, and a place on Henry St. The husband was actually born in this building - it has been in his family for years. The couple was charming, even though they were overwhelmed by the upkeep and constantly harassed by developers and neighbors. LPC worked with them to sell the small carriage house (the roof sank in and it was a demo by neglect situation - the DOB wanted to knock the place down - they made a ton of $ in cash from the sale of it). I know that they were both avid collectors and the house was full of stuff - you know, the type you hear those stories about people who can't live in their house b/c of all the clutter and junk they collect - they are like that. Anyway, when I left LPC there was talk about them selling this house - but don't know what ever happened to them. (hope they are alive and well). regardless, this is an important house and really needs some tlc!

I live in the neighborhood as well, and love the house. The reason for all of the junk in the front yard is not an eviction, but a fire on New Years Eve, as per tns. Since then, the burned debris has remained in the front yard, and the house has remained boarded up. I know the refurbishment will be expensive, but I pray that the house remains and is not destroyed, it is beautiful.
I've another photo on the addictive nypl.com gallery - it claims to be from 1925, and you can see the house in the background. Note a few other wooden, federalist style homes in the foreground, which weere demolished for an apartment building:
