Closing Bell: Beautiful in Bushwick
We went for a little driving tour around Bushwick a couple of weeks ago. The highlight of the day was undoubtably this little two-story brick treasure that feels like a carriage house but, judging from the original arched windows and arched lintels (is that the right term?), it never was.

We went for a little driving tour around Bushwick a couple of weeks ago. The highlight of the day was undoubtably this little two-story brick treasure that feels like a carriage house but, judging from the original arched windows and arched lintels (is that the right term?), it never was. A Google search suggests that it’s currently the headquarters for an elevator company but the building appears to be part of a larger parcel that includes an empty lot to the left of the building. According to PropertyShark, the property was purchased a year ago for $1,600,000, a price that suggests the new owners are going to do more than just sit on it. If that’s the case, let’s hope they have they have mercy on this building. GMAP P*Shark
i do believe that the renters will continue to come to williamsburg, east w. burg and bushwick regardless of the L. i travel on the L without any hassle now. think it’s actually speedy compared to other lines.
the city is automating the L as best as possible. also, it’s not nearly as bad as the 6 and look at all the young renters on the UES.
the real reason that renters will pour into east w.burg and bushwick is that unmarried/non-cohabitating 20/30 somethings typically like to go out a lot. and all the cool good bars and music venues are either in w.burg, the east village or the LES.
where else are they going to go? there are 6 young unmarried people in my office and all but 1 live in w.burg or greenpoint. (the one that doesn’t lives in flatbush and hates how far it is).
ya – way off on bushwick claim….look at any CB map of NYC and you’ll see….this is in heart of E. Williamsburg
This is a block west of the Williamsburg Houses. It’s not Bushwick by a long shot.
Its actually East williamsburg. I know brokers say East williamsburg when they mean Bushwick, but this really is East Williamsburg.
Actually, this building is located in southeastnorthsouthwest East-South Bushwickburg, you nincompoops.
Oh no, a heroine’s been shot!
That photo was the view from my apartment from 1999 to 2005. During that time the building was an elevator repair company and the lot is where they parked their trucks.
I have a great photo of a guy leaning against that building shooting heroine at 6am on a sunday morning next to an overturned baby’s crib. Good stuff.
