75-year old Arthur Wood created the stained-glass windows in the now infamous Broken Angel building located at 4 Downing
Street in the Clinton Hill. They are made from all sorts of detritus: salt shakers, ashtrays and coffee table, bottles. From the inside, you can see the windows’ bright colors.

Yesterday, in a conference with the Brooklyn Supreme Court, the
Woods agreed to dismantle
the building’s 40-foot rooftop structure, the main violation.

FROM THE NY TIMES: The Woods
have also entered into a tentative agreement to share ownership with a
local developer, Shahn Andersen, who would turn most of the building
into condominiums, according to a spokeswoman for City Councilwoman
Letitia James. The Broken Angel, as the house is known, would include
some form of community space, along with living and studio space for
the Woods.

Wood wanted to raise the
money to bring the building up to code and keep it for himself. But he
was running out of time and afraid the buildings department would tear
down his home.
