THIS IS OSFO’S FAVORITE HOUSE! WHY? BECAUSE IT’S PINK!

OSFO has always loved this pink house, the only one of its kind in tony brownstone Park Slope.

Note to self: read the hard copy New York Times more thoroughly (when I read it online I manage to miss things). I missed "The
House on Garfield Place" a poem that was published in The New York Times on
Monday. Duh. Can anyone send it to me?

Interestingly, the fuschia facade was grandfathered in before the district was landmarked in 1973. I just wish it was a prettier pink.

One thought on “THIS IS OSFO’S FAVORITE HOUSE! WHY? BECAUSE IT’S PINK!”

  1. THE HOUSE
    ON GARFIELD PLACE
    The brownstone just around the corner
    Now sports a brilliant fuchsia flair,
    Alarming dogs and stopping traffic
    On foot, on wheels and in the air.
    Park Slopers talk about the building,
    Exchanging snarky real-estate jokes
    About the home that’s become an attraction —
    Except for the hapless next-door folks.
