"Locals Push Back on 27-Story Tower Planned for Historic Fort Greene Church After more than a year of speculation about the future of the landmarked Hanson Place Central United Methodist Church in Fort Greene, plans are now clear: The owners want to use the church's shell as the base of a 27-story, 240-unit apartment tower that would rise beside the iconic Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower."
"Iconic Brooklyn Heights Mid-Century Modern House Seeks Rooftop Addition At least one local objects to a rooftop addition proposed for an iconic Brooklyn Heights mid-century modern townhouse on Willow Place. An application to the Landmarks Preservation Commission to build a terrace and rooftop addition on top of 48 Willow Place was on the agenda to be discussed at the Tuesday, November 5 meeting of Community Board 2. An LPC hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, November 25."
"Prospect Lefferts Gardens Limestone With Elaborate Woodwork Asks $2.25 Million There is plenty of woodwork to drool over in this early 20th century row house. Fretwork, wainscoting, moldings, a pier mirror, window seats, and more are all to be found - and all those details appear to have been lovingly cared for. At 173 Rutland Road in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District, the house hasn't changed hands since the 1970s, so while a new owner can expect a few upgrades might be needed there is plenty of period charm in place."
Plans would convert the landmarked Hanson Place Central United Methodist Church in Fort Greene into a 27-story, 240-unit residential tower using the church's shell, prompting criticism during a Community Board 2 Land Use Committee presentation. A proposed rooftop terrace and addition for an iconic mid-century modern townhouse at 48 Willow Place drew at least one local objection and is scheduled for a Landmarks Preservation Commission hearing after Community Board review. An early 20th-century limestone row house at 173 Rutland Road in Prospect Lefferts Gardens is listed for $2.25 million with extensive original woodwork and period details. A Midwood studio listing also appears among local property news.
