My Life In Brooklyn

700 Flatbush Avenue, mentioned a couple of posts ago has a temporay sign indicating it will be a retail store/market for West Indian Products — so my salon-sneaker store guess was wrong. 

I’ve been watching this building for a long time now, the scaffolding has been up forever, or it feels that way – well over a year and could be way longer.

I assume this building was a school, possibly an elementary school.  That is Erasmus Hall looming behind it.  I’d be interested in knowing more about this building if you happen to know anything.

Anyway, this is a huge building on a very large piece of property and it seems to just be slowly rotting away.  I have yet to see anything happen in the four+ years I have looked at it.  Property Shark has the build year as 1934 and from what I can tell, it looks like the City is in charge.
