Brooklyn News: An Old-Time Brooklyn Concert Garden
"Clinton Hill Neo-Grec With Mantels, Medallions, Pass-Through This 1870s Clinton Hill brownstone hasn't changed hands in decades and it is filled with lovingly cared-for period details like marble mantels, wood floors, pocket doors, and a pass-through. The less than 19-foot-wide dwelling at 309 Vanderbilt Avenue is set up as a single-family and boasts a bit of surprise space with a setback third floor hidden behind the cornice."
"Community Board Backs 72-Story Fort Greene Tower, With Conditions A new tower planned for Fort Greene, set to become the second tallest in Brooklyn if built as proposed, has received conditional approval from Community Board 2. At its September full board meeting, the board voted 26 in favor, five against, and two abstaining to support the development at 395 Flatbush Avenue Extension. The site, currently occupied by a seven-story black glass office building housing Verizon, is owned by the city."
An 1870s Clinton Hill brownstone retains numerous period features, including marble mantels, wood floors, pocket doors, medallions, and a hidden setback third floor, and is configured as a single-family residence at 309 Vanderbilt Avenue. Palette Architecture converted a multi-unit brownstone into a single-family home, addressing layout challenges for a family with two children and integrating historic and contemporary design. Open-house selections featured properties across Brooklyn with prices from $950,000 to $4.995 million. Community Board 2 voted 26-5-2 to conditionally support a proposed 72-story tower at 395 Flatbush Avenue Extension on a city-owned site currently occupied by a seven-story Verizon office building.
