Catholic Church Extinguishes Arts Community at St. Cecilia’s

A sad end to what was a great rebirth. St. Cecilia’s has an amazing collection of buildings, and it was nice to see some of them used for the benefit of the community.

Wooden House Project

08/04/2011 | Comment

The Wooden House Project is a new blog by Elizabeth Finkelstein that deals with Brooklyn’s wood-frame row houses. The site is well-designed and content-rich, and it’s a subject that is very near to my heart, so I am looking forward to some good things. If this post is any indication, this site has a lot of promise.
