The Lamm Institute, Charles Hough’s turn-of-the-century nod to Paris, is for sale through Grubb & Ellis, though no information is available on the firm’s website. The 13,750-square-foot build at the corner of Amity and Henry has been owned by the Long Island College Hospital since Henry Maxwell built it as a nurse’s residence in 1902. What do you think the price will be? There’s another 14,625 square feet of buildable space to play with.

  1. I want to like this building but it’s really blocky and awkward in the way a lot of these institutional buildings are that are aping some historical style. They’d never build something like this at the Place des Vosges. I also can’t imagine the finishes are that nice–dour is a very likely prognosis.

  2. Forget about adding a couple of stories to this building, it is in the Cobble Hill Historic District and I doubt anything other than a very modest rooftop addition will ever be permitted.
