"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."
"Details like the impressive middle parlor with ornate stair pop up in many other houses by the duo behind this limestone: developer Charles G. Reynolds and architect Axel S. Hedman. Plans for a row of 20-foot-wide single-family houses were filed in 1908, and by 1909 Reynolds was advertising the neo-Renaissance row as "the most artistic two-story and basement stone houses in Brooklyn" with parquet floors, showers, and tasteful decoration."
At 173 Rutland Road in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District, a 20-foot-wide neo-Renaissance limestone row house retains extensive early 20th-century details. The single-family home preserves a triple parlor arrangement with ornate middle parlor, fretwork, wainscoting, moldings, pier mirror, stained glass, window seats, and a columned mantel. Developer Charles G. Reynolds and architect Axel S. Hedman designed the row in 1908–1909 with parquet floors and tasteful decoration. Dining and kitchen occupy the garden level with a butler's pantry and an original ice box; a laundry room, full bath, and mudroom lead to the rear yard. Upper floors contain front, rear, and a petite third bedroom; some layout tweaks are present.
