About this House

This 120 year old row house at 1237 Union St in Crown Heights reveals Brooklyn's transformation from farmland and dirt roads to a thriving metropolis with street lamps, fire hydrants and underground subways.



Why even its accommodations suggested that Architects of the era knew families needed more practical sized bedrooms and closets to satisfy the borough's fast growing middle class.

    "This area is now called crown heights. We are located on the other side of Eastern Pkwy. Atlantic ave is a border. We are up the hill. Not a dangerous neighborhood but people will litter all over your property. Dog litter everywhere. Trash from corner bodegas everywhere. I hate that about this community. "

    "There are lots of dog parks both official and unofficial, where you can have your dog off leash before 9am or after 9pm. It's important to understand that it's not ok to let your dog pee or poop on sidewalk trees. Homeowners here take a lot of pride in their trees and gardens and letting your dog relieve itself on their property (even if you clean it up) is considered deeply disrespectful."
