The Lamm Institute, Charles Hough’s turn-of-the-century nod to Paris, is for sale through Grubb & Ellis, though no information is available on the firm’s website. The 13,750-square-foot build at the corner of Amity and Henry has been owned by the Long Island College Hospital since Henry Maxwell built it as a nurse’s residence in 1902. What do you think the price will be? There’s another 14,625 square feet of buildable space to play with.

  1. Clearly a Continuum Health Partners modus operendi, selling off prime real estate to pay the fat salaries of their administrators. They did it on the upper east side as well

  2. Does anyone care that Long Island College Hospital closed a fifty year old Institution that served Developmentally challenged individuals so they can reap profits in the real estate market? A Hosptal with a heart?

  3. today’s Brooklyn Eagle reports that this building and adjoining parcel was advertised as being appropriate for a new 9000 sq ft bldg being purchased for $6.1M by ‘Lucky Boy Development’.
    No info on who this company is.
    Lamm bldg is landmarked.

  4. Doubtful it was on for long. We got two tips about it on Thursday–that was the first we’d heard…Unlikely all the Cobble Hillers would have let that go by for long without an email…

  5. Sounds like inside dealing to me. If the property was on the market then I want to know for how long, who was the broker and what was the original listing price. Something seems very fishy to me. I went by the building today and – “presto” – the “for sale” sign is gone!

    This is a beautiful building and I’m a little surprised that they went with this broker and for some Godforsaken reason no one knew of the sale. Seems very very fisher….

  6. I worked at Lamm, though not in this building. The place is completely falling apart inside and will have to be gut-renovated. Don’t think there were many details to begin with, it’s insitutional and very poorly maintained.
