280 Hicks Up For Auction
As Curbed reported last week, the rundown but beautiful carriage house at 280 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights will go up for auction next Tuesday. The house belonged to Alfred Palmer, who also used to own 135 Joralemon Street and was something of a neighborhood character. The starting bid for the 2,875-square-foot house is $2,000,000,…
As Curbed reported last week, the rundown but beautiful carriage house at 280 Hicks Street in Brooklyn Heights will go up for auction next Tuesday. The house belonged to Alfred Palmer, who also used to own 135 Joralemon Street and was something of a neighborhood character. The starting bid for the 2,875-square-foot house is $2,000,000, which might be a little aggressive considering it’s a candidate for a complete gut renovation. (Does anyone know what happens if it fails to sell?) Other properties up for sale that day include a Remsen Street co-op and a couple of Bed Stuy townhouses. GMAP
– I think it is time for a remake of Arsenic and Old Lace.
The remake would involve keeping the body in a window seat blocking of the Fedder.
Yes- it was Bklyn Heights. did they ever find Teddy Roosevelt 😉
I think the setting for arsenic and old lace was supposed to be Brooklyn Heights. The old ladies’ house was near the Brooklyn Bridge, although it looked more like the Lefferts House in Prospect Park. The movie ends with the house being demolished for a Scarano-designed condo tower.
Arsenic and Old Lace was set in Brooklyn. Although not sure what nabe.
Great great movie.
One of my all time favorite movies!
ROFL, Minard! We did the play in high school, and Teddy was the best role, although Mortimer, played straight as Cary Grant did in the movie, is also a great part.
I think it is time for a remake of Arsenic and Old Lace. My favorite role is cousin Teddy who is digging the Panama Canal in the basement. I could see Rob in that role.
You say carriage house, I say 19th century illegal curb cut.
I realize I’m veering off topic, but, yes, bxgrl, living next to the firehouse is a plus because the firefighters are hot, and, yes, Minard, “Arsenic & Old Lace” is a classic.
