"It is a first-floor unit in 125 Ocean Avenue, a six-story co-op building across from Prospect Park. Plans were filed for the building in 1939. By 1940 the building, constructed by Leon and Murray Kellner, was pitched as a "fine addition to the Flatbush area." Units had all modern improvements according to a Brooklyn Eagle article, with large foyers, an "abundance" of closet space, and "dropped" living rooms."
"There is a separate kitchen with all white finishes, including the tile floor, walls, cabinets, and a vintage sink. The windowed room has room for a small table for dining. The full bath has retained much of its 1939 style with a yellow console sink, a built-in hamper, a medicine cabinet, and yellow floor and wall tile with black accents. The yellow tub is still in place with a glimpse of some original hardware. Outside of the bathroom are the three closets in the unit."
