Remember the residential conversion we told you was in store for 25 Washington Street in Dumbo? Well, it’s started.

25 Washington Conversion Confirmed [Brownstoner] GMAP P*Shark DOB
DTB area?
what’s that?
downtown brooklyn?
the folks who own it have done more to preserve old stuff in DTB area that anyone else but the watchtower…..wakey wakey watch and learn
it’s in the historic district? That’s a relief!

what a handsome building. It will be spoiled I’m aure by the renovations. The lovely old windows will be torn out and replaced with ugly modern windows and the proportions will be ruined by a clunky rooftop addition that will look incompatible.
