"The brown brick exterior is ornamented with bands of stone and quoining and topped with a bracketed cornice. There are entrances on both avenues, each framed by columns."
"By late 1898, 385 Clinton Avenue was being advertised as the 'handsomest apartment house' in Brooklyn with elevators and other modern amenities."
"The primary bedroom was originally the dining room, and the 'study' off the parlor was the second bedroom. A closet has been carved out of the study, and the kitchen has expanded into a pantry."
The Clinton Hill co-op, located in an 1890s elevator building, features original architectural elements like picture rails and stained glass. The top-floor unit boasts high ceilings, wood floors, and pocket doors, with potential for private outdoor space. Originally designed for nine families, the building now contains 16 apartments. Renovations have altered room functions, with the primary bedroom previously serving as a dining room. The overall aesthetic is characterized by neutral finishes, including white walls and trim, enhancing the historic charm of the space.
