Despite its reputation as an industrial wasteland, it’s amazing how much beautiful architectural detail exists in Williamsburg if you keep your eyes open. This doorway, for example, at 378 Wythe Avenue between South 3rd and South 4th Street is lovely in its relative simplicity (though it could use a new door). According to Property Shark, the house was built in 1899–we can only assume the doorway is original to this year. Like many of the brownstones in the area, it has a modest 20’x40′ footprint. Currently configured as a three-family, the house has no juicy mortgage or sales figures available. GMAP
It probably does (or did) have sidelights, and given the configuration of the doorway and the footprint of the building, 1830 to 1850 would be a more accurate date, though it could be a bit later. There are a fair number of buildings with these Greek-revival type doorways still around.
acording to p-shark most of the Brooklyn was build 1899. I must have been great year.
I wish brokers could finaly learn that it is not a real date.
I wonder if the sidelights were boarded up?
