BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN OLD & NEW By A.P. Connolly | Photos by Travis Mark
ocated within the Park Slope Historic District, 43 Eighth Avenue is a stunning Neo-Greco brownstone built in 1886. Its grand high-stoop entry with intact portico and the bold three-sided bay windows create a memorable impression in a block filled with handsome historic homes. Once known as Sportsman’s Row for the number of jockeys and horsemen who lived close to the nearby Montauk Club, this illustrious location delivers unbeatable access to Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza. The Brooklyn Public Library, Museum, and the Botanic Garden are just minutes away, and foodies will love the proximity to the Park Slope Food Coop and Fifth Avenue’s restaurant row. There’s also easy access to public transportation (2/3, B and Q subways), bus service, as well as Citi Bike stations. 36 | OUR CITY, YOUR LIFE | FEBRUARY 2021
