Admiring 1024 Dean Street
Driving through Crown Heights last weekend, we took notice for the first time of the building at 1024 Dean Street. The most striking conversion of an industrial building we’d ever seen in the area, 1024 turns out to have won an award from the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce in 2005.

Driving through Crown Heights last weekend, we took notice for the first time of the building at 1024 Dean Street. The most striking conversion of an industrial building we’d ever seen in the area, 1024 turns out to have won an award from the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce in 2005. The 14,000-square-foot development known as the Ice House had to have been one of the first LEED-certified projects. The six-unit conversion was done on a $1.4 million budget (wow!) and from the street looks fantastic. Any readers been inside?

if you’re under 30 and dont wear jets windbreakers
you’re obviously a hipster AM I RITE!!!!!!
nope we dont call that prospect heights.
me personally I always say prospect heights stops at underhill ave .
“Dont a lot of people call this Prospect Heights when they dont want to freak out their manhattan visitors?”
Yes they do, blissfully unaware their Manhattan neighbors don’t make no distinction betwen Crown Heights and Prospect Heights, and consider BOTH to be “fringe” neighborhoods, which they will gladly flee as soon as the party breaks up.
What about the Hupsters? Weren’t they going to replace the Hipsters?
Difference between artist and hipsters
Artist want to create art and hopefully eek out a living.
Hipsters wanted to be artist but took 9-5 jobs instead.
“the architect/environmentalists (31 years old) are not considered hipsters?”
If they’re real about what they’re doing and cool with their new neighbors, and pick up after their dogs (like I do) they will be viewed as cool architects and environmentalists, not hipsters, and they will be welcomed. If they are trend-obsessed, superficial types who will try to put some stupid-ass “cool” name on the area, and view longtime residents as “threats,” it’s likely they are HIPSTERS. Those types should definitely STAY THE HELL AWAY! Glad we cleared that up.
They could be Amish. Nice building.
hha ahha ahha aa so wait, the architect/environmentalists (31 years old) are not considered hipsters?
And the artist studios that their adjacent properties will become — those will not be populated by hipsters?
what pray tell do you call these people, then? Old timers? regular folk? Cause from where I’m standing, they look, work, talk, think etc. . . just like hipsters.
PLEASE correct me.
