House of the Day: 73 8th Avenue

A Park Slope landmark at the corner of 8th Avenue and Union Street is for sale. Known as the Pinkerton House because its first owner was the proprietor of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, it was designed by architect Magnus Dahlander and built in 1892, according to the listing. Extremely large at five stories and 6,433 square feet, it is a four family with ground floor commercial space. The listing says the apartments are free market. The photos show some original detail is still left, such as moldings and stained glass, and the building is close to the park. Do you think it’s attractive for $5,000,000 — a mil for each floor?
