"There are only a handful of listing photos, but they show some appealing interior details including window seats, wood floors, stained glass, and more. Designed by Slee & Bryson, this Ditmas Park residence has some picturesque curb appeal with its broad porch and Tudor-inspired half timbering."
"At 1917 Ditmas Avenue, the single-family sits within the Ditmas Park Historic District and dates to 1909. Plans were filed that year for the frame dwelling designed by Slee & Bryson for owner Edward W. Haskins. Haskins was a long-time employee and new vice president of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, better known as A & P. The 1910 census shows he and wife Harriet Stebbins Haskins were living in the house that year with their three young daughters and two servants."
"The Haskins must have been satisfied with the work as in 1910 they hired the firm to add a garage to the property. The family owned the house until 1925 when they sold it to Norman P. and Lulu Findley. The sale merited a blurb in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle along with a photo showing the house and the garage at the rear of the property. The architectural details can be seen more clearly in the circa 1940 tax photo."
