Back when I was running through the streets of Brownsville reciting poetry and raising poets .. This young lady and I started movements that are still moving .. There's no going back! There's no regret for the past. I look forward holding on to the good memories as inspiration and the negative ones as learning lessons that inspire as well. We're standing in front of the Brownsville heritage house where all successful movements in Brownsville must get a pass to exist righteously. Do You Know Who Mother Gaston Is!?

The Renaissance Revival home at 222 Columbia Heights (photo via @museumofcityny) was constructed on a hill overlooking the bay at some point in the mid to late 19th century (likely circa 1870, but tracking down an exact date for it is difficult). Named for its original owner, Peter Cornell, a Red Hook-born manufacturer of gun powder, the house was better known as the residence of Seth Low, the mayor of Brooklyn, later NYC mayor and president of Columbia University.⠀ The home was unfortunately demolished during the construction of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway and Promenade in the 1950s. In 1980 a new home was constructed on the site. Replicating the general shape of the original building, this new structure was rendered in modern brown, glazed bricks and attempted its best at modern infill to the historic neighborhood. The rounded moldings of the facade have prompted some to refer to the new home as the Tootsie Roll House. ⠀ Via @urbanarchiveny and Berenice Abbott⠀ May 22, 1936⠀ Share your homes' photos and stories today at BrickStory.com. #BrickStory, #storystylesoul, #architecture, #historicpreservation #househistory,  #americanhistory, #oldhouselove, #exteriordesign, #vintage, #preservation, #historichome, #history, #photography #americanhome, #photographer, #mansion, #americandream, #americancastle #urbanarchive #nychistory #brooklynheights #brooklyn #historicdistrict #sethlow #bereniceabbott #federalartproject #demolished #Promenade #urbanplanning (at Brooklyn, New York)
