"Dating from the 1880s, the house combines a grand facade with well-preserved period details inside, including paneling and plasterwork. A grand Queen Anne exterior hints at the delights to be found inside this Park Slope townhouse. There is woodwork a-plenty with mantels and moldings as well as other 1880s details like plasterwork and stained glass. The just over 20 foot-wide brick and brownstone dwelling at 470 9th Street is a legal-two family with a garden rental and a generously sized triplex above."
"It is one of a row of Queen Anne style dwellings in the Park Slope Historic District Extension, designated in 2012. The houses are credited in the report to one L. Pearson with a plan filing date of 1882, but not much was uncovered about the owner and builder at the time of designation. Designs are repeated in the row with the eclectic mix of elements found in the Queen Anne style, including Romanesque arches, mansard roofs, a variety of window styles, and brick detailing."
Dating from the 1880s, the Park Slope townhouse at 470 9th Street features a grand Queen Anne exterior and extensively preserved interior period details such as paneling, plasterwork, mantels, moldings, and stained glass. The just-over-20-foot-wide brick and brownstone building operates as a legal two-family with a one-bedroom garden rental and a generously sized triplex above. The row of houses in the historic district displays repeated Queen Anne elements — Romanesque arches, mansard roofs, varied window styles, and ornate brick detailing — linked to 1882 plans attributed to L. Pearson and contemporaneous builders like Daniel Doody.
