OK, I was drawn in by the picture of Austin Nichols & Co. (184 Kent).
But Suzanne Spellen (Montrose Morris, from Brownstoner) has been posting on Substack for over half a year now. She still posts about Brooklyn (see link above), though much of her focus has shifted to Troy, NY, which is also fertile grounds for architecture history. Her research and writing is always top notch, and the Substack is worth checking out.
Interesting tidbit (I assume about 184 Kent) in a piece on the sale of Paul Manafort’s Soho condo:
“I think there are buyers who wouldn’t buy it or would be less interested because of it,” Harkov says, citing difficulties with selling off a Williamsburg, Brooklyn, property owned by Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Several prospective buyers said they didn’t want to be a party to putting money in the family’s pocket.
Yet another coffee shop in the neighborhood – this is notable for being (I believe) the first permanent retail in the old Austin, Nichols & Co. Warehouse (184 Kent). 184 Kent has opened a couple of pop-up shops in its Kent Avenue retail spaces over the past few months, but this one is here to stay.
