177 St. James Place is one of a pair of narrow Romanesque Revival houses designed in 1888 by the prominent Brooklyn architect Mercein Thomas for a man named Russell Engs, who resided at 86 Cambridge Place (which has been on and off the market for years). Now the 12-foot-wide brick house is on the market for $1,150,000. Since the house is only 2,440-square-feet, it’s not a bargain on a size basis, but it is a chance to own a real charmer of a house in Clinton Hill for a not-huge price tag. Has anyone looked at it yet?

He was probably chubby and was stuck in there for hours until the firemen were able to pry him out sans his pants.
“well if you must know my real reason for hating fireplaces is because when i was 7 i fell down one and was stuck for 2 days before anyone figured it out! haha just kidding”
If you say so, but I don’t think you’re kidding.
