I was good friends with the son and spent time in the house (25 years ago). Very nice. There is a row of 3-4 identical houses across the street from it.
Yes, good point anon at February 10, 2006 10:19 PM!
I am the owner of a “run down” frame in Clinton Hill and would appreciate all offers of cash for renovation. I mean REALLY APPRECIATE!
If it’s such a travesty, then give her the freakin’ money, Shahn. No, wait. Give me the money.
Arrogant? What is arrogant about saying that this beautiful building is obviously a bit run down? You would have to have cataracts to not notice the state of disrepair it is in.
There are few frame houses like this left in Brooklyn, and I think it is a travesty when they are allowed to go to pot. There are preservation grants and low interest loans available to help maintain buildings like this. It is the owners perogative not to take advantage of those programs, but it is also the perogative of those of us that love old buildings to consider it a shame.
Get a life, folks! This house–which is, indeed, on Willow Place,– is not “a piece of shit” as Shahn so arrogantly described. It’s a house with quite a history,owned by the same couple for almost 40 years; a couple who raised their children there and who were both professors at one of New York City’s most famous universities. Why they have failed to keep up the facade of the house is really none of our business but–as their neighbor for over 20 years–I think it’s offensive to throw out such mean, judgemental opinions. I doubt whether the owners read Brownstoner, but they do keep their windows open in the summer and I have heard people stand right in front of the house making like comments which obviously the owners can hear. Even if you all are perfect people living in perfect hosues, let’s stop the stone throwing.

Not 135 Joralemon. Photo doesn’t match that in this previous brownstoner.com posting on the property:

Nope, that house is on Willow Place between Joralemon and State.. I used to live right around the corner and would sometimes go out of my way just to walk by it. As many times as I did, I never saw anyone go in or out of the house, but always saw a light on in the room above the front door.
