My Life In Brooklyn

This building is located on the north side of Lincoln Road between Rogers and Nostrand Avenues (quite close to Nostrand).  Looks like it may still have residents.  Note the symbol over the door.  I’ve been trying to call the Dept. of Buildings to learn what this means (no luck so far).  I have seen this mark on several buildings, plus a similar symbol — a square with an x through it  — on others.  This one may mean unsafe, the symbol with the x through it condemned.  I really do not know, just guessing here.  I forgot to write down the address, but I believe this is 249 Lincoln Road, will confirm later this week, year built estimated to be 1905.

To the right of the building is a garage also part of the property, I believe.  I think it is kind of cute, reminds me of my own house in some ways.  Will be sad if it gets demolished to make way for the new and ugly.
