The plot thickens. The saga of the house at 221 Washington Avenue, the destruction of whose facade we were decrying on Monday, has taken an interesting turn. Rather than mimicking the look of the wooden house to the right, which how #221 started out life, the design seems to be aping the shape of the brownstone to the left. This is gonna be interesting!
Facade Torn Off Washington Ave. House [Brownstoner] GMAP
The third story now has a bay as well.
There are 3 houses in a row on 6th Av. in the Slope that have bays & are painted wood. They’ve been refurbished in the last 2 years & are very nice. Not sure, but between 3rd & 6th St.s I think.
Are they allowed to frame out the house with wood because it’s an alt 1 on a pre-1968 house?
Most of the victorian clapboards in the SF Bay Area have them too.
I love victorians!
Given that a real design firm is working on this, I’ll bet it turns out to be a pleasant surprise.
Then again, I think those shingles are/were butt-ugly on the side of a house.
there are victorian clapboards on lafayette at clermont with bays
Interesting. Still a wood frame, while mimicking the brownstone bay window. Those are some nice tall windows for the bay.
[Glad the thread is back from the twilight zone. I agree with DIBS, I would love to watch the progress on this one.]
Don’t you have a special relationship with the Devil, not to mention his detail, Dibs?
I don’t think that the inclusion of a bay window necessarily means it’ll be “brownstoned.” many victorian clapboards had bay windows just like this. Mine in Chicago did.
