quotation-icon.jpgDuring the 19th C. the most notorious brothel in brooklyn heights was on the corner of Peirrepont and Henry in a magnificent mansion. It is now apts. It is one of my favorite houses in all of Brooklyn, every time I’m in the nabe I have to walk by. I imagine women of ill repute hanging out by the windows waiting for male callers. During that same time, Love Lane was used for illicit activity. So, this house on ‘Love Lane’ for $9,500 a month you better get some bang for your buck!

    I remember walking from Park Slope to Pratt once, about 10 years ago. It was desolate and empty. I remember passing a huge empty red brick building on the corner of Gates and I forget what, thinking, this is a beauty, but who’s gonna want to live here. Look at the neighborhood now…it’s come a long way.
