This was one of seven Civil War era residences for admirals of the US navy, stationed in Brooklyn. The city has left them to collapse, and will build a supermarket for govt housing.
Kind of small to be called a mansion. Nonetheless, still sad to hear they will be destroyed. Have the interiors been stripped or are they still in tact?

Some amazing structures in their time .My photo would fit right in here today 6/28.
Do you think single family or boarding house, back in the day?

Come quick!
The forest is eating the buildings!
The old must make way for the new. Such is the way of things.
Oh I do hope you have taken lots of pictures of it. I love photographing building like this. Take a few more before it goes.
A little True Blood creepy. I like.
It's so beautiful in that nice light. We all mourn the loss.

wow. I'm surprised you got to go in there. I've only seen this area from outside the fence.
Very cool.
Wish I could go inside first. . .
It's sad that this mansion will be demolished...Love the ivy climbing on wall.
This photo has me wondering what life was like for the people who lived in this house. What made it unique. What stories we will never know.
Horrible that it'll be demolished! How crass!!
