380-Clinton-Avenue-0508.jpg
According to a tipster, there was a small fire at the gorgeous mansion at 380 Clinton Avenue on Wednesday night; we stopped by yesterday and snapped this photo of this second-floor window, which appears to be the only spot of damage. Currently home to the Teen Challenge, the 1909 house is known as the Julius Liebman residence. It is one of the few houses designed by the prominent architecture firm of Herts & Tallant for the grandson of Samuel Liebman, founder of the brewery that later became Rheingold. Did any readers pass by while the fire was being contained? GMAP
