Development Watch: 357 Dean Street
And the steamroller called progress rolls on. A year ago, a beautiful, albeit rundown, woodframe house stood at 357 Dean Street; now the skeleton of a new 6-unit residential building juts out beyond the facade line of the neighboring 19th-century house.

“A year ago, a beautiful, albeit rundown, woodframe house stood at 357 Dean Street”
You are a moron!!
It was a beet up no back wall bad foundation SRO old crack house and the roof was falling in.
I live on the block and was in it before it came down.
It leaned 12â€to the left, it’s life was over. Thinking this is a “beautiful, albeit rundown, wood-frame house†makes you a moron.
The woodframe ws a sweet, big, old home. But this is Brooklyn! No time for that crap! Build for the masses and charge millions per square foot!!! go go go!! before the masses catch on.
Lot line windows? Please explain?
Once we get all the old crap torn down and new condo buildings up, we’ll all be in context again. Happy days.
I’d be pissed if I were the next door neighbors. Huge loss of light with the jut -out, plus it looks as if they lost their lot-line windows, as well.
Horror of horrors, what is that noncontextual building next to this new condo? It’s so big and protrudey!
Concrete and steel, outstanding. What a beautiful budiling! Screw the woodframe! By your own admission it was rundown. You like it som much, buy it and do what you want with it. Trust me, we won’t complain if you restore it.
You said it 1:21…where were all the protesters when this POS was proposed? Out protesting some bar a few blocks away??
What a hideous building. Is this the fate of Brownstone Brooklyn?
