The Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to calendar the Public School 15 Annex at a meeting in early December. The three-story Romanesque Revival-style building for Public School 15 Annex in Boerum Hill looks likely to become the borough's newest individual landmark following a unanimous vote by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The group voted on December 2 to calendar the James Naughton-designed circa 1889 building, once called one of the handsomest schools in the city according to an LPC researcher, for a public hearing on landmark status.

An intriguing one-bedroom for sale in an 1890s mansion in the Bedford Historic District is an income-restricted HDFC co-op and has original details as well as recent updates. Built for a clothing executive and his family, the 1891 Romanesque Revival pile is dripping with columns and terra-cotta ornament. It was designed by architect Peter J. Lauritzen, whose other notable buildings include the Union League Club in Crown Heights and the Offerman Building in Downtown Brooklyn.
