Endangered on Maple?
On my return walk on Maple Street I happened to notice what turned out to be an empty wood frame house at what I believe to be 263 or 265 Maple, between Rogers and Nostrand on the north side of the street.
A couple of men were working on the house next door and said the owner of this place died (they heard). But both said the interior is gorgeous and full of details. It is a huge place, in the image, the roof that appears at the top — seeming behind the house itself, is actually part of it.
So the owner of the house next door said a pipe burst in this place at one point and he called the city about it; interested parties can expect to see some impact of water in the basement. It will be interesting to see what happens to it, no telling the money needed for restoration, but I would hate to see a Fedders building here.
Looks like a 1905-1910 era building to me, has some original stained glass visible. No number on the building itself, next door is numbered 261. This is the next block east of the historic district.
