House of the Day: 1290 Pacific Street Revisited
When we looked at 1290 Pacific Street a year ago, it was listed with Brooklyn Properties for $1,450,000. Having failed to sell, the 1899 Queen Anne house is now with Corcoran hoping to fetch $1,310,000.

When we looked at 1290 Pacific Street a year ago, it was listed with Brooklyn Properties for $1,450,000. Having failed to sell, the 1899 Queen Anne house is now with Corcoran hoping to fetch $1,310,000. Here’s what we said last time: “On the one hand, its a one-of-a-kind house with an impeccable architectural pedigree; on the other, unfortunately many of the people who have that kind of dough to spend aren’t ready to rock Crown Heights yet, historic district or not.” Think it’s got a shot with this lower price?

I adds a whole dimension to one’s perception of a place knowing that history.
If you need me to look up any address let me know I can tell you a house history from 1930 back with no problem. Census records are the ones I look at most often.
ancestry.com, I am member. I love genealogy as well as great old houses.
Where do you get all this great info from then?
dittoburg I would have done the same thing.. If funny to look at the occupations of the people in the neighborhood then. Half of them are not around anymore. Most of them I have no idea what they are… Funny how things change in 100 years
Amzi – about three months ago a touristing family (I’m guessing they were from Utah/Colorado) asked me on Park Avenue in midtown whether there was a “dry goods store” nearby. I blanked.
NOP…hold on while I take my foot out of my mouth and explain again.
I meant in 30 years, you’ll be so busy with the book tour of your best selling memoir, ‘Nostalgic on Park Avenue’, that you won’t have time to post.
Thanks, Amzi, for the information. If this is the case, Ms. MacDougal had a front window to Brooklyn’s changes. NOP
PS In 1900 The first family to live in this house was the John Winfield and Eliza Ray family. He was a dry goods buyer. This family leaves NY for LA
