Building Collapse on Lefferts Place
Last night the facade on a brownstone on Lefferts Place between Classon and Franklin collapsed and DOB is getting ready to tear it down. We can’t get over there. Are there any readers nearby to take a photo for us? Thanks. UPDATE: A reader sent in this photo of the collapse at 196 Lefferts Place….

Based on the Property Shark photo, this place was already looking pretty derelict on the outside. Was anyone living there?
BTW DIBS, ONLY B&W? When you photograph someone in black and white, you show their soul; in color you show their cloths 🙂
Not anymore Denton; I shoot utilitarian stuff with a DSLR now (in color, no less, DIBS). However my “real” photography continues to be done on medium format B&W film with real (i.e. wet darkroom) prints. FWIW when my “utilitarian” photography was scanned B&W film I could post images in a couple of hours–it would have been even faster had i been willing to ruin my negatives by scanning them while still wet. Digital (assuming adjustment of my images in PhotoShop) is only slightly faster.
think Corcoran is trying to sell this baby for 600k or something like that
This is not too far from where my Mom grew up. What a shame…
Where’s bho to claim that all of brooklyn will look like this in five years?
That’s very sad. But the place to the left looks rather sad too. Ashame.
And it would only be in B&W
Bob would do it but he’d have to develop the film first 🙂
I’d do it if it were Lefferts AVE, although I’m glad it’s not.
