Down in Red Hook, one of my favorite anachronisms may not go the way of the condo:

Tina Fallon, a broker with Realty Collective, a Red Hook-based real estate company, said she came up with the idea for a design competition to restore the cottages in hopes of saving them so that they won’t be torn down to make room for a massive, out-of-scale development that would violate the neighborhood’s low-rise aesthetic.

You can play along at home here.
