red hook
Another type of house typical to the neighborhood: the cedar shingle clapboard or what I like to think of as Red Hook’s answer to the Saltbox. Much like City Island in the Bronx, there are places in Red Hook that make you feel as if you’re in some strangely urban version of Martha’s Vineyard and the sound of distant buoys clanging in the night only compounds that effect.

  1. I am fascinated by that house – is anyone living in it yet? I say the same thing about Red Hook every time, except I call it Nantucket. It just looks like whaling territory to me out by the pier. Amazing.
