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?

Dont a lot of people call this Prospect Heights when they dont want to freak out their manhattan visitors?
I just read the article and realized it’s 6 units. Sorry about the question earlier.
“I’d say it’s dangerous but it does not look like it gets much foot traffic as it’s sparsely populated housing wise. Kind of like West Williams burg 10 years ago. Watch out here come the hipsters!”
HIPSTERS STAY AWAY!!!!! THIS IS A ‘FRINGE’ AREA!!!STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!STAY AWAY!!!!!!
This is an odd area. It’s close to Downtown Brooklyn and subways but is full of old warehouses and empty lots. I’d say it’s dangerous but it does not look like it gets much foot traffic as it’s sparsely populated housing wise. Kind of like West Williams burg 10 years ago. Watch out here come the hipsters!
Wait, is this a one family building? Or apartments?

Splattered child is hard to scrape off of the sidewalk and even more “unsightly.” There should definitely be a “Stupidest Comment of the Day” award. You should be today’s recipient.
Um, hellooo!
Ha! 12:52, I agree!
I also agree with Hal. This could be a very vibrant housing and arts and creative community, utilizing that fabulous group of 19th c. industrial warehouses behind and right around the corner from this building, which was originally part of that complex.
Kudos to the owners for both green and sustainable renovation, and for taking a chance on the neighborhood.
“um” does make you sound moronic. its like starting a sentence “hellooo”
Dear Brownstoner:
Please discontinue your drives through Crown Heights. Your posts are giving away all of our neighborhood secrets, which have thus far kept away most of the “fringe-area” sycophants. We’d prefer to keep it that way.
Those ARE terraces, 11:58.
