BROWNSTONE VOYEUR is a joint project of casaCARA and. OTBKB. Look for it every Thursday on both sites.

THIS HAS BEEN MY comfortable home away
from home for the past two weeks. It’s my dear friend Nancy’s brick row
house in Boerum Hill, and it’s classic.

Built around 1870, the house retains many of those coveted Victorian “details,” including spectacular plaster work in the dining room (painted an historic blue-gray), original pocket doors with etched glass, an over-the-top pier mirror, right, between the front parlor windows, a black marble mantel in Eastlake style, long four-over-four parlor windows, and wood floors so old and thin if they’re sanded one more time they’ll turn to sawdust.
