2:44 here – very happy reasons, thanks bren. The building went co-op circa 1980 if I remember right. Everyone who bought there within the next 20 years profited from the FG/CH boom, and several of us were able to become “brownstoners” as a result. So no displacement here, just a bit of nostalgia.
Before going co-op the place was a private school for many years (you can still see the school bell in the foyer). Can you imagine what a grand single family home it must have made in the 1870’s?
What a wonderful place to be able to call “home”, and how awful to have to pack up and leave… I hope anonymous 2:44 PM that you weren’t displaced… hope you moved on for happier reasons.
it used to be me (sigh)… we had an apt in that building that was very good to us.
I wish that were ME on the porch! 🙂
those are my friends on the porch!
me want big time!
Love the color. It reminds me of the mocha almond birthday cake my mother used to get for me at B. Altman’s.
So beautiful…
Nice manse.
