American Dream: A Brownstone in Park Slope

An American Dream of Living in a Fabulous Brownstone

By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft

The thing about great old houses is that moving from room to room feels so human, so humane, in the proportions that that designer gave the spaces. So these places look great on the outside but they probably also feel great to live in.


This row of terrific brownstones is footsteps from the 7th Avenue subway station, which I chug through every day.



Oh man, I could write terrific stuff in the corner room!

Look at the beautiful door, and the beautiful frame around it.

Here's another one. My heart is pounding, it's so beautiful!

Here's a great door with a great bay window above it.

Fantastique!

Here's a small part of a big stone house on a corner. I love the upstairs balcony covered in plants!
