House of the Day: 177 St. James Place
177 St. James Place is one of a pair of narrow Romanesque Revival houses designed in 1888 by the prominent Brooklyn architect Mercein Thomas for a man named Russell Engs, who resided at 86 Cambridge Place (which has been on and off the market for years).

177 St. James Place is one of a pair of narrow Romanesque Revival houses designed in 1888 by the prominent Brooklyn architect Mercein Thomas for a man named Russell Engs, who resided at 86 Cambridge Place (which has been on and off the market for years). Now the 12-foot-wide brick house is on the market for $1,150,000. Since the house is only 2,440-square-feet, it’s not a bargain on a size basis, but it is a chance to own a real charmer of a house in Clinton Hill for a not-huge price tag. Has anyone looked at it yet?

well if you must know my real reason for hating fireplaces is because when i was 7 i fell down one and was stuck for 2 days before anyone figured it out! haha just kidding
ENY, please refrain from engaging the loons.
“well fireplaces are dangerous and can start fires.”
How exactly can a fireplace START a fire? Fireplaces are built specifically to ACCOMMODATE fire! Plus they look cool.
QOTD has been awarded. It was a slow day.
btw, Sam…nothing is lost on your hard driving friend. I’m getting highly amused by your carefully chosen words, please continue.
Sam, why you!!!
Since we’re ‘tagging’ our posts. I’ll admit my 3:31 was a private message to someone (nobody here).
Sorry, folks. Carry on.
I think subtlety is lost on our hard-drivin’ friend.
What was the trickery and treachery thing all about?
Definitely code.
I think it was “code” sam
