On the north side of Degraw street, east of Fourth avenue, Mr. George R. Brown is about commencing the erection of a row of ten two story and basement brown stone front single residences. Each house will be 16 feet 4 inches by 38, and they will have swell fronts. In point of appearance they are likely to compare favorably with any houses in the city of the same class, and yet their cost is put down at only $2,400 each. They are very well laid out. In the basement will be a dining room 10 1/2 x 18, a kitchen 15x12 and pantries. On the main floor the hall is five feet wide. The front parlor is 10x15, exclusive of the space given by the swell front. The back parlor is 16x10. A space between these rooms four feet wide behind the sliding doors contains two closets. There is also a hall room 6x12 in the rear. The second story has a front alcove room, 15x14, with a closet and two back bedrooms, 9x15 and 5 1/2 x 11, beside a bathroom, 6x6, lighted from the roof. This is a common sense house, and such residences can hardly be built in numbers too large for the demand. If such houses can be built for $2,400 many thousands will soon be called for in this city. Mr. L. E. Brown will do the mason work of these houses and Mr. J. F. Kentana the carpenter work. -Brooklyn Eagle, January 31, 1886, p. 6 ("Four Weeks Comparison").
