A Mediterranean Makover
We spotted this building on West 9th Street, near Smith, the other day. Before its makeover, it was just a humble but proud Italianate townhouse like its brothers and sisters on the block. Now, well, we can spot several influences: some Spanish tile for the roof; a stucco-looking facade reminiscent of Greece; coral-colored Doric-ish columns,…
We spotted this building on West 9th Street, near Smith, the other day. Before its makeover, it was just a humble but proud Italianate townhouse like its brothers and sisters on the block. Now, well, we can spot several influences: some Spanish tile for the roof; a stucco-looking facade reminiscent of Greece; coral-colored Doric-ish columns, and those mini-balustrades. Looks from this DOB file that they added height and depth to the building back in 2007, and decided to make it stand out from its neighbors as well. Your reviews? GMAP

Townhouse Lady;
Between the steady stream of traffic heading down W 9th for the entrance to the Brooklyn battery Tunnel, and the BQE overpass at the end of the block, I really think that this house is not at the crux in determining property values. If anything, it might raise property values, in that it (vividly!) demonstrates that someone is willing to invest in the block.

oh boy, it always gets xrated doesnt it. oh to be so endowed as to be referred to as Tripod.
‘Yeah and if I were Greek I would be taking insult with your ethnic comments. Bunch of Hypocrites.’
You’re not Greek, so you’re not taking insult with the comments.
Hypocrite!!!!
You’d care if you lived next door and couldn’t sell because no one wanted to buy your house with that thing next to them.
DIBS – is that YOUR house in Merida for sale? If so, where is it located? It looks heavenly!

You all need to go move to some gated community where you can impose all of your association rules upon one another, live amongst your little cliques, mandate hair an eye color on your applications, rat on one another, and generally live your stepford lives. This house doesn’t actually appeal to me, but I am kind of glad it bothers all of you. Because as long as the owner likes it, I could care less.
goldie…they are apparently looking at whatever monstrosity is across the street. But my mind wanders and it looks like a good opening scene for a gay porn movie.
‘now what do you suppose those 2 construction guys at bottom right are saying?’
We’re so hot, someone is taking our picture, let’s give them our best pose.
