This is a classic Italianate
Brownstone in Prospect
Heights built around 1871 with
bracketed window lintels and
cornices, and original details
on the interior like decorative
window moldings and wainscoting.
Located at 167 Prospect
Pl., it’s in the Prospect
Heights Historic District, and
belongs to a strip of Italianate
row houses that the designation
report provides a wealth
of information about.
The report notes that the
home was built at a time when
Prospect Park was being developed
and new public transit
to the area anticipated the
construction of hundreds of
brick and stone row houses in
Prospect Heights.
Its high stoop allows for decently
sized windows on the
basement level, and Italianate
buildings had relatively
tall ceilings on the fi rst fl oor,
with nearly fl oor-to-ceiling
windows, which are evident in
views of the facade.
During this period, balusters
were often being manufactured
in cast-iron rather than
being hand-wrought, allowing
for more affordable production
of details like these generously
swelling and beaded
spindles, newel, and gate entrance.

entrance and cornice
brackets have the acanthus
leaf motif that was coming
back into style after a period of
relative austerity during the
Civil War. The entrance’s sidelights
and transom are fi lled
with glass blocks, replacing
double doors seen in others
along the row. The designation
report notes that the fence
and gate are probably historic
wrought-iron features, though
the gateposts and fi nials may
have been altered.
A three-family in the hands
of the same family for decades,
it is confi gured as two fl oorthrough
apartments over a duplex.
The few pictures in the
listing show a wealth of original
detail, including the original
stair with a characteristically
rounded newel post and,
in the parlors and bedrooms,
picture-frame moldings,
crown moldings and marble
mantels.
There is wall-to-wall carpet
in many of the rooms, and
none of the three kitchens or
four bathrooms are pictured,
which may mean some work
is needed.
It’s being offered for
$2,999,999 with current taxes
fairly low at $646.
Good price for all of the
work it may need?

permanently. According to the Centers for Disease Control, most relapses occur within the
first three months.
