🏙️ New Project in Brooklyn Heights — A Hidden History Behind the Walls
04 March 2025
We’re excited to kick off a new project in Brooklyn Heights, where our team is diving into the inspection and preservation of a century-old residential complex with a surprising past.
What looks like a single 7-story building is actually a network of seven interconnected structures, some dating back to a former orphanage for New York’s newsboys. Beneath the surface: brick masonry, limestone and brownstone details, pressed-metal cornices, rooftop terraces, and a history that spans over 110 years of urban change.
This is more than a façade inspection—it’s a deep exploration of how architecture, social history, and preservation meet.
