It was in fact built by Lictchfied as headquaters to his Brooklyn Improvement Company. – yes Litchfield was a RE developer!
Don’t believe the carriage house story.
nryland – that doesnt seem right, given the apparent ages of the buildings – do you have a citation or something
nryland, wow; great history lesson!
yea, that is the carriage house to the Litchfield villa in prospect park. Imagine gowanus and park slope not existing yet, just a long driveway up 3rd street to the villa in the park. geesh….
Every time I drive by, I am frustrated because there is still no Whole foods.
Nice building, though.
I know Whole Foods may be using it if they ever get that Super Fund site cleaned up enough to sell you organic grapes picked by immigrant labor for $2 a day and no bathrooms (doi, it’s organic, right?).
Does anyone know the story behind this building?
