Carriage House Week: 409-411 Vanderbilt Avenue

409-411 Vanderbilt Avenue (above) is an elaborate Queen Anne style carriage house and coachman’s residence designed in 1882 by Parfitt Brothers for Cornelius Hoagland to match his mansion at 410 Clinton Avenue (right). The fanciful, two-story building prominently displays Flemish gables on both the front and rear elevations. This motif echoes that on the south side of the related mansion. On Vanderbilt Avenue the gable is articulated by a round-arched vehicular entrance, now partially enclosed, a pedestrian entrance, two segmental-arched story windows, and a multi-paned ocular window. The recessed section to the south also has a carriage entrance as well as arched windows. It is crowned by a gambrel roof with raised eyebrow dormers. Corner brick chimneys rise above the roofline of this charming building, which now houses the Brooklyn Vetinary Hospital. GMAP P*Shark
My two cents – I took my pets there when I lived in FG and I still take them there now that I bought in Bed Stuy. I only go to Dr. Burns.
I’m anon 11:37. Thanks for the posts guys. I like brownstones although I can’t afford one but the main reason I visit this site is I get good info on Fort Green and Clinton Hill. Thanks again.
I third Dr. Farmer. I swear, we were totally ready to put our cat down and he helped him (our cat) and us pull through. I’m not kidding – he’s a great vet and really kind and supportive. I had my shovel ready.
I agree about the staff lesterhead (my bro-in-law is a vet tech there). They take real good care of my cat.s I cannot remember her name but I also recommend the woman doctor (who has been the only one I have seen so far).
Does anyone have any comments good or bad about the veterinary hospital?
