If I remember correctly...after G&T closed it became a TGIF for a short while. So were THEY in line with the landmarks? I would be suprised if they were.Or did the landmark take effect afterwards? Whatever opens...Best of luck to them.

I think it is a nice design BUT for a historic district , this aint historic. It changes the overall look & feel to ... windows. It goes from Mom & Pop store to National Corp. Bank look. Not to mention it being a different Style of architecture design from the original as well as the surrounding buildings.

If I could ever afford $3,200,000. for a place to live I surely would want a kitchen that I could turn around in let alone maybe sit down to drink my tea.

It seems a good idea to me... but as with everything it boils down to $$$. I wasn't able to find any details on the Pratt students project. But I'll bet it is just that, a school project. So I hope someone involved has the savy to help it become a reality.
Also I noticed that here Brownstoner states, "Pratt Institute architect Brent Porter and his students have designed a plan for Admiral's Row". But in the Brooklyn Eagle linked article ...

“We’re trying to please, I think, everyone, as much as possible,” said Diane Smith, a student in Professor Zehra Kuz’ architectural design class."
Brooklyn Eagle goes on to say Prof. Brent Porter is also Chairman Of the Clinton Hill Society of Landmarks Comm.

So time will tell. I do hope History is remembered.

Would be nice if I could spend 2.4 MILLION but I can't. Evin if I could I would want more for my buck. It is 2 blocks from the G train or 8 from the C but if I could afford 2.4 I don't think I would be ridin the rails. It is a nice 'hood. And it's Washington Avenue not Street as sam called it. Washington Street is in Dumbo. All the luck to them.
