The Queen Anne manse at 1094 Park Place in Crown Heights boasts grand architecture and remarkable interior details like lush woodwork and stained glass. Designed by Henry B. Moore, it features a port cochere, round tower, and extensive living space with five bedrooms and three baths. Built in 1901 by Clarence M. Phipps, the house has strong historical connections to the Brower family. In 1910, it was part of a notable 'subway reception' event linking two neighboring houses. Sold for $960,000 in cash in 2009, it had previously been recognized as a House of the Day in 2008.
Driving up to this Queen Anne manse and pulling into the port cochere would make one feel rather grand, and the Crown Heights rental has some impressive details surviving on the interior as well. The rental of 1094 Park Place is pricey, but the details, including lush woodwork and stained glass, are certainly eye-catching.
Plans for the Queen Anne house, which is in the Crown Heights North III Historic District, were filed in the fall of 1901 by Clarence. M Phipps. Clarence married Genevieve Brower, a daughter of former Brooklyn Parks Commissioner George V. Brower, in 1897.
The two houses made the news in 1910 when they hosted what became dubbed the "subway reception." A Brower son got married and the neighboring houses were joined by a covered bridge for the occasion. Guests could glide easily across the lit and heated bridge to move from mingling in the Brower house to supper in the Phipps residence.
According to the listing, which doesn't include a floor plan, there are five bedrooms and three full baths. The manse was a House of the Day in 2008 and sold in 2009 for $960,000 in an all cash deal.
