Demo has started at 111 Clarkson Avenue, the singular Victorian house in Prospect Lefferts Gardens whose style the AIA Guide once described as “berserk eclecticism.” A demo permit was issued March 14. When we stopped by Sunday, a fence had gone up, the interior had been gutted, windows had been removed, and holes chopped in the roof.

As reported, owner and developer Seth Brown from Aspen Equities plans two rental buildings of 22 and 28 units each. The interior of 111 Clarkson Avenue was lavish, as 1970s photographs by Dinanda Nooney revealed, but over the years the exterior had been altered and the house was rotting from years of exposure to the elements.
