It is the future…nobody is building brownstones.
Unfortunately, the answer will be yes they will be standing.
‘can we please please please revisit these in 6 months to see if anyone actually bought them?’
can we please please please revisit these in 6 months to see if they’re still standing?
can we please please please revisit these in 6 months to see if anyone actually bought them? pretty please with sugar on top?
The one in the middle, is that a diving board on the roof? Is that the new widow’s walk…suicide perch?

Hmmmm, I kinda pictured DIBS and myself in those roles.
I agree with MM — it’s Friday afternoon. Time to relax a bit.
Also, there are many things on which Brownstoner users disagree, and have well-reasoned debates on, but I think you’d have a hard time finding too many people who appreciate Brownstone Brooklyn (the core audience of this site), who are going to be fans of any of these three buildings.
In other words, not real surprising that there’s little dissent in this thread.
‘The commentary on this site continues to sink in caliber.
It’s good to see that Brownstoner is feeding red meat to the crowd to keep the number of clicks up. Really a bunch of “diverse” viewpoints above.’
Is this diverse enough?
These houses while well built, display the greatest details of architecture. They exhibit unprecedented use of exotic materials. Form follows function is clearly displayed in these homes. The juxtaposition between the streetscape and buildings are creating a flow and continuity. These homes will be marveled for centuries. They will be studied for their elegant but yet subtle magnificence.
Also, Benson, there’s a thread about construction costs, I didn’t see a post on there from you. You might want to dispense some compelling opinions there. It’ll give some validity to this site.
Back to say, obviously the two end photos are not the same houses, one has a bay, the other pseudo Palladian windows. They still came from the same template of mediocrity.
Same entryways, though.
