“It’s a beauty, isn’t it?”
If that’s what you want to call a narrow frame house with ill-proportioned windows. Note how the first and second-floor windows almost run into each other. If this were modern construction, folks would be all over the poor proportions of the windows.
yes, it is. Thanks houseowax! And tinarina!
Photo is from St. James Place, close to Gates Ave, in Clinton Hill. I little further up the block, there’s some more skinny wood houses that have all been renovated–all great examples of how to make these properties work.
“Agree with dave – that’s a beautiful house. I wish the proprietors would post WHERE these pics are taken.”
CGAR, that house is in Clinton Hill, on St James between Gates and Greene. It’s a beauty, isn’t it?
And how about the innocent guy who spent 3 weeks in Rikers? Video and cell phone records prove he was in Manhattan at the time, and yet the cops and detectives stand by their ID of the guy and doubt his alibi!
I’m sorry, but I’m a law-abiding citizen, and a lawyer to boot, and this is why I still have a slight fear of the cops and the legal system. That is to say, getting caught up in the system, being totally innocent, and yet not being able to prove your innocence. It’s not like there aren’t a lot of wrongly convicted people filling this country’s jails.
Agree with BH about the Crown Heights robbery, too. I just don’t understand why the guy who was shot didn’t call 911 FIRST, rather than his boss and his family!! He prolly would’ve survived if he had since he was still alive when help arrived an hour later.
Agree with dave – that’s a beautiful house. I wish the proprietors would post WHERE these pics are taken.
Paging Mr. B! Paging Emily!
That Crown Heights robbery-murder is heartbreaking. Over $100. Just awful for the family.
Brooklyn Has the Most Chains
…
Really? Shocking! I wonder what on earth could account for that?
Bronx 1,397,287
Brooklyn 2,567,098
Manhattan 1,629,054
Queens 2,306,712
Staten Island 491,730
Yeah, just seems inexplicable…
