Development Watch: 330 Clifton Fugly, As Expected
When we checked in on 330 Clifton Place back in June, there was little reason to think that the two-family structure would turn out to be anything but ugly. And now we have confirmation. At least the eventual residents will have a place to put their archers should an enemy’s cavalry decide to attack. Development…

Development Watch: 330 Clifton Place [Brownstoner] GMAP P*Shark DOB
I’v got 2 pics to send in on some things going on on a block that is calandered…Macon St. bet. Lewis & Marcus garvey…one fugly 4th storey addition in light brown brick and one completely new facade in that really fucking ugly yellow/orange fake stone.

This is not an attempt to look like a castle, but an ingenious architectural ‘loophole’ developed in Columbia University called Fractional Fortification. It allows the builder to meet height codes while only using half the construction material of a full wall for several feet, yielding an improved profit margin.

WHY WHY WHY!?! That is horrendous and shameful!
I realize this isn’t in a recognized historic district, but is there really no architectural review board in Brooklyn? At very least an aesthetic review board?
“At least the eventual residents will have a place to put their archers should an enemy’s cavalry decide to attack.”
Aye! The resident militia will muster here to repel the onslaught of the invading asshat forces!
Those crenelations will come in handy once civilization collapses as His Whatness keeps predicting.
Look at that, a white castle opening soon in BedStuy!
