Brooklyn Inside & Out

Aha longevity stairs ! Ok maybe thats what the owners where going for and of course on can install those bulky escallator stair climber thingys as needed. However I am with Putnam though, aging-friendly housing isn't only an American concept and is in fact now code in new construction through out European cities. Oh well great stuff still Cara and thanks for the goodies over the years ( yep I remember Casacara :)

As a longtime parishioner at historic St. Boniface next door, all I can think is, there goes the light for our OTHER stained-glass windows. We already lost the first side to the ugly high-rise on the corner. What a sleazy bait-and-switch those poor little houses turned into. They will be tiny ground-level masks for another monument to greed and ugliness. LPC, for shame.

Good ole downtown Brooklyn meant so much to me as a kid. My maternal grandmother — whom I lived with! — was born in a house on Atlantic Ave. in 1901. Thanks again for sharing.

This 2019 Brownstoner open houses story has some info about 47 Chauncey. At one point, it was gutted shell with two marble mantels. Then it was renovated and went on the market in 2019. I wonder if any of the houses in the row still have their original moldings and other details. https://www.brownstoner.com/real-estate-market/brooklyn-open-houses-for-sale-crown-heights-greenpoint-bed-stuy-gravesend-historic-district/
