House of the Day: 287 Dekalb Avenue
OMG this place is awesome! This 1905 1889 Romanesque Revival house at 287 Dekalb Avenue has some of the sickest original detail we’ve ever seen in Clinton Hill. The house, which appears to have been in the same family for over three decades, was designed by Montrose Morris, we learned from the LPC designation report…
OMG this place is awesome! This 1905 1889 Romanesque Revival house at 287 Dekalb Avenue has some of the sickest original detail we’ve ever seen in Clinton Hill. The house, which appears to have been in the same family for over three decades, was designed by Montrose Morris, we learned from the LPC designation report on the Clinton Hill Historic District. Here’s some more from that report: “Nos. 285-289 form one of the outstanding rows in Brooklyn…They were designed in such a way as to give the effect of one large mansion. The facades of these buildings display the textural and chromatic contrasts that are a hallmark of Romanesque Revival style buildings.” The asking price is $2,250,000. We are very jealous of whoever gets to buy this place!

Haters. Enjoy your 4″ x 4″ parquet floor condos with bifold closet doors and exposed electric panel boxes.
I could pop my frilly collar all day long in that joint…

People this doesn’t look like a home – it looks like an orphanage. I hate dark wood – scares the crap out of me. It is grand and frightening.
hahaha…..funny. I think so too. I am a heretic apparently. I am not a big dark wood fan.
Holy crap! Uh, can I borrow $2,250,000?
Why would anyone put an organ pressed up next to a radiator? Hopefully, they have that one turned off, or that organ won’t last very long. (No jokes!)
I would love to get in there for the book, Mopar. I might show up at an open house.
wow. Just wow. So beautiful- makes you appreciate all over again the incredible quality of craftsmanship man is capable of (without lasers, electricity or computer cad programs. Boy, we have lost so much knowledge and skill.
