In an Art Deco building in Bay Ridge, this one-bedroom is relatively modest, but has potential with wood floors, a practical layout, storage space, and some period details. It is on an upper floor of 145 95th Street and just a block from the green space of Shore Road Park.

When the six-story brick building was completed in 1931 it was known as Harbor Heights Hall and builders and owners A & A Construction Company took out a large ad in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle that year listing the many modern amenities and all of the tradespeople involved in the construction. They lauded the neighborhood as “one of the few localities in Brooklyn that still retains suburban quiet and charm.” The building included a “modernistic” exterior, a “uniquely decorated and designed lobby,” roof gardens, and 24-hour doorman service.

The Art Deco building was designed by architect Boris W. Dorfman with bands of horizontal and vertical brick detailing. Those brick accents pop out a bit more clearly in the circa 1940 tax photo. Dorfman designed some other exuberant examples of the modern style in the borough, including other apartment buildings as well as commercial buildings.

Inside, the units originally boasted concealed radiators, tiled bathrooms in “delicate colors,” a mirrored door in the master bedroom, and Craftex in the living areas. Craftex, a 1920s brand name for a textured wall finish, still adorns walls in the foyer and the living room of this unit.

The front door opens into the foyer, which has two closets with original hardware; one of those closets is a walk-in. An arched doorway leads to the living room, which is generously sized and could fit a seating and dining area. Details include two windows, a coved ceiling, picture rails, and a wood floor.

There is also room for a table and chairs in the dining nook in the kitchen. A new owner could give the kitchen a style tweak, but it appears in good repair with wood cabinets and a tile backsplash.

A jolt of color adorns the walls in the bedroom. It is a spacious room with two exposures, wall moldings, and picture rails.

In the bathroom there are still some Deco details in the “delicate colors” promised in the ad, including a pedestal sink and tub. A newer vanity provides additional storage.

Amenities in the building include a live-in super, bike storage, laundry, and storage spaces. The decorated lobby mentioned in the 1931 ad still has plenty of style with a fireplace, geometric patterned stained glass windows, and a terrazzo floor. Maintenance for this unit is $965 a month.

The apartment building shares the block with a 19th century survivor, the individually designated Bennet-Farrell-Feldmann House. It was built in the 1840s and moved to this block in the early 20th century.
