one of my shots of Mrs. C from last year. This is one of the few close ups I have of her. I just cropped it and added some Lomoish effect.
Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn
The house at No. 677, which was built in 1890 from designs by the New York architect L.C. Holden, faces the north side of Tompkins Park from Lafayette Avenue. it is located in an area that was formerly the old village of Bedford which had been incorporated into the City of Brooklyn in 1834. The park is one of the original eleven parks or squares in the 1839 Brooklyn city plan. A commission was authorized in 1835 to lay out streets, avenues, and squares in the expanding City of Brooklyn, taking into consideration the proposed suggestions of a Citizens Committee. Tompkins Park was undoubtedly named for Daniel D. Tompkins (1774-1625). Governor of New York State and Vice President of the United States, 1817-1825. He was a forceful advocate of liberal reform measures and served valiantly in directing the defense of the New York area during the Mar of 1812.
The residential development of Bedford took place mainly from the 1860s through the 1890s when many private residences were constructed. Mr. Moses Aibert Scull purchased his property at 677 Lafayette Avenue on March 27, 1890, and commissioned the New York architect L.C. Holden to design his new townhouse. Plans for this residence were filed on June 12, 1890, and by May 1, 1892, M. Albert Scull was listed in the Brooklyn directory. According to the directories, Mr. Scull was in the cement business. The Scull family retained the residence until 1916.
Three stories in height, above a high basement, this handsome brick and brownstone townhouse is a fine example of the late Romanesque Revival; this is a style which perpetuated the rock-faced stonework and some of the bold character of the earlier Romanesque Revival, but it also introduced certain minor variations, new materials and a general sense of refinement. These materials included brick and terra-cotta for trim; radial arches of brick, either fiat or segmental were introduced, in contrast to the traditional Romanesque Revival half-circle arch.
The basement is faced with regular rock-faced ashlar as opposed to the rock-faced random ashlar of the L-shaped stoop which abuts it. The steps, with straight-faced risers without round-nosed treads, have dressed stone copings on the wing-walls so typical of the Romanesque Revival. In the wing-wall facing the street, beneath the landing at the turn of the "L", there is a small window just above the sidewalk which admits light to the basement entry beneath the stoop. A handsome curvilinear wrought-iron grill protects this window. A deeply recessed door under the top landing gives across to the basement, and a wide window opening in the front wall of the building provides light for the basement.
At the first floor the square-heeded doorway, approached by the stoop at the left-hand side of the house, is complemented on the right by a wide window which is the same width and directly above that at the basement. This window, like the doorway, is square-headed; each has a sprayed fat arch of rock-faced stonework which accords with the stonework of the front wall of the first floor.
