The Yeshiva School is fine, considering the empty lot that was there, before. True, it could have been a lot worse. And see what money can buy? You won't see that kind of inginuity on any of the public schools in our neighborhood. The other additions to the brownstones are rediculous and greedy.
I've got to say that the first picture is quite a scene.... it's as if the addition is swallowing the 19th century home. This picture should be the icon ofr your cause - one picture says it all...
Yes, that house was the talk of the neighborhood for a long time. It was divided into 2 duplexes and the price tag for each was incredibly high. The construction of the addition looked very poor. I don't know if the units have sold yet. I agree. This picture is the poster child for landmarking!
i was actually relieved how hannah shenesh turned out... could have been worse. having a school that has prohibitive tuition costs is much preferable than having condos. twenty grand per annum would not add much traffic to the community. and it looks like its architect considered the aesthetics of the neighborhood.
