Talk about an alteration! In earlier days this was a three-story white frame home. (Property Shark photo after the jump.)

That whole row of houses has been remuddled beyond recognition. It’s on the same block as that house yesterday with the extra story and the fire escapes in the front.

that is fukkin ugly, I just hate slider windows and stucco.
That’s the stoop from the Brooklyn Museum! How did it end up here?
too bad.
it was a cute frame.
