Brooklyn Inside & Out

Thanks for your comment. Agree the building is not Colonial Revival style. It does have some Colonial Revival details. I will update the story. The designation report says: "These buildings were constructed as two pairs in 1913 and 1914. The earlier pair, at 566 and 570 44th Street (Figure 6), have large round-arched ground-story openings and upper-story arches with keystones that may have been influenced by the Renaissance or Colonial Revival styles. Their brickwork is typically exuberant, with English-bond “background” brick set off by darker header-bond brick and quoining surrounding their window openings, and by geometric-patterned brick within transom and spandrel panels. Crowning both buildings are high parapets with angular and round pediments, shields, and diamond ornament. Both retain impressive French-inspired iron marquees with large, ornate wrought-iron brackets."

Friendly note. This building is not colonial revival style. The NYC LPC historic report calls it “Arts-and-Crafts-inspired”, “vaguely medieval”, and a type of “tapestry brick dwellings” that were common in Brooklyn during this era.

Plain and simple it's a wrap. It's all around gorgeous and Asking is a steal. Believe will get over asking with a bidding war. Looking forward to seeing the results. Anywho...A+ A+

Tasteful and contextual. We need to more housing, even if it's higher income (and this certainly will be). Enough of the NIMBYism.
