The Cobble Hill row house at 44 Butler Street combines historic charm with potential for modernization. The 25-foot-wide dwelling features original elements like wood floors and marble mantels, while its curious domed vault adds intrigue. Likely constructed in the 1840s or early 1850s, the home retains some vital historical aspects, including a Greek Revival-style facade. While there are no specific records of the vault related to this house, it shares commonalities with other Brooklyn homes of the era, which had vaults accessible from both the sidewalk and the interior for material delivery.
The 25-foot-wide dwelling has some original details intact, but there is room for updates and to give the historic features some polish.
The brick dwelling with a Greek Revival-style brownstone front door surround with pilasters likely dates to the 1840s or early 1850s.
No ads of the period mention a vault specifically in relation to 44 Butler Street.
Typically the houses for sale are described as having a "sub-cellar" with vegetable, coal, or wood vaults.
