Bob Marvin and Putnam Denizen are totally on point today.
Good Grief! Even plain ole factual information like a house tour schedule can bring out the hate!
What’s next? Hating on the fact that Tomorrow is Wednesday?
“Its about time THEY are doing Carroll Gardens and Cobbile Hill”
Comments like this drive me crazy. While I agree with the poster about the beauty of CG/CH, I suspect he/she has no idea how much work is involved in a house tour. If you live in a brownstone neighborhood and think housetours are important it’s incumbent on you to DO something about it–THEY is US.
Its about time they are doing Carroll Gardens and Cobbile Hill i mean come on they are 2 of the best and most beautiful areas in NYC
Yes, this was just meant to be the Spring tours
Ft Greene and Clinton Hill DO alternate, as anon. 11:54 pointed out.
AFAIK the Boerum Hill tour is every other year.
I imagine Mr.B only intended to list the Spring tours. According to the house tour post cards, put out for the last 12 years by a consortium of neighborhood groups running tours, the Fall tours are as follows:
Crown Heights North–Sun., Oct. 6th
Prospect Heights–Sun., Oct. 14th
Bedford Stuyvesant–Sat., Oct 20
These cards are available (I hope) at Borough Hall. In my neighborhood there’s a supply at K-Dog on Lincoln Road. I’m sure they will be at similar places in other brownstone neighborhoods.
What about Boerum Hill?
Sigh. How can we attract a hater on a thread about house tour schedules? The Clinton Hill House tour of two years was interesting in that it had a few fabulously done spaces but also allowed us a peak at the spaces created by a much earlier wave of artists who came to CH in the 60s and 70s. It reminded me that some create space not for architectural mags or to play well on a realtor’s website, but because they want to create a personalized, eccentric space. There was one house in particular (on Washington, I believe, which seemed more rooted in the 40s and 50s Greenwich village bohemian aesthetic). That said, I’d love to get out to Victorian Flatbush.
The Victorian Flatbush tour is the only one that ever amounts to anything. The others are always pretty blah. I’ll mark June 10 on my calendar!
