Do you think single family or boarding house, back in the day?

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.

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.

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?

Kitty said...

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. . .

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.
