The holiday magic of Macy’s begins at a Red Hook workshop
A sneak peek at the 2019 window displays By Alex Williamson Brooklyneagle.com
It’s almost October, and you know what that means — time to start talking about Christmas. For members of the Macy’s holiday window crew, spearheaded by National Director of Window Presentation Roya Sullivan, that conversation began in February or March. That’s when the team of roughly 200 artists, designers, sculptors, animators, carpenters, electricians and sound engineers start planning the holiday window displays for the retail giant’s flagship 34th Street store in Manhattan, almost immediately after the prior year’s displays are taken down. Sullivan gave the Brooklyn Eagle a tour of the windows in the works at Standard Transmission studio, a Red Hook design and fabrication shop that’s been partnering with Macy’s for the past seven years to bring the concepts to life. Sullivan’s team first designs the six windows for the Midtown department store, which are meant to be viewed chronologically and to tell
a story. This year, the story is about “Santa Girl,” a little girl who wishes she could be Santa while watching the Thanksgiving Day parade, and whose dream comes true on Christmas morning when she receives a Santa suit. The crew at Standard Transmission starts constructing the displays in March or April, using foam, plywood, LED lights, interactive video displays, chrome and robotic elements. One of this year’s windows shows Santa Girl putting antlers on her large animatronic dog. Another incorporates a video game with a steering wheel outside of the plate glass, allowing visitors to steer a 3D vehicle across a screen and collide with as many presents as possible. Another window has a camera that snaps a photo of the viewer, which is then broadcast across eight LED displays. During a test run, an animated Santa hat appeared in the lower corner of the photo. “This is in its infancy,” said Sullivan. “The idea is that the Santa hat will be on your head, and that Santa is

country also receive animated holiday windows, built by the same team in Red Hook. For the Downtown Brooklyn location, Macy’s is preparing some Brooklyn-themed holiday windows, including one with the bridges and tunnels that lead into the borough, one that depicts a family of bears living inside a Brooklyn water tower and one that shows a large cat dancing on a stage with an orchestra of mice playing beneath her skirt. “I was inspired by BAM. I went to Pratt and saw a lot of shows there,” said Sullivan. After the holidays, workers dismantle the displays and take them to a Macy’s warehouse, where they salvage A Standard Transmission crew member adjusts the wiring materials for future displays for display window number one. at Macy’s stores around the country. “We kind of figure out what parts and pieces can be repurposed. We are very much conscious of reusing materials,” said Sullivan. Some of the supplies from last year’s Herald Square displays will be used in windows in Brooklyn and Chicago this year, Sullivan said. Macy’s has been delighting passersby with their displays since 1874, when businessman Rowland Hussey Macy unveiled the country’s first Christmas window displays at his 14th Street Manhattan The theme of this year’s window displays is “Believe in the store. The company debuted Wonder.” the first animated window displays in 1899. Today, the extravagantly decked-out windows of Midtown department stores like the Herald Square Macy’s, Bergdorf Goodman and Bloomingdales draw hordes of spectators to Fifth Avenue each winter. The company estimates that more than 10,000 people per hour pass by the windows during peak holiday shopping hours. This year’s displays will be unveiled Thursday, Nov. 21 at the Macy’s at 151 W. 34th St. They’ll be open for viewing Workers at Standard Transmission use robotic elements to through Jan. 1, 2020. build moving displays.

scious content, so this has all come full circle for me,” she said. O’Brien was brought on in 2011 to work with Focus Features, a film and distribution company formerly headquartered in SoHo. After being tasked with overseeing a new “Focus on Green” initiative, research led her to discover the now-closed Gowanus based nonprofit Film Biz Recycling, which prioritized reducing the amount of waste film sets were sending to landfills. To her surprise, former Film Biz Recycling employees described the work as miserable and discouraging. A large portion of the job is sorting through trash, monitoring plastic usage from crew members, and receiving minimal respect for their endeavors, no matter how ethically sound. But their complaints did little to dissuade her from approaching the role with her own personal take. “I was like, ‘I want to try this!’ Because there has to be a better way to make this job more inviting experience. So I went back to the people that I knew at Focus and asked if anybody knew literally anyone that would hire me to do this.” After connecting with Peter Saraf, head of the NYC-based production company Big Beach Films, O’Brien was brought on as a “Green Steward.” From there, Earth Angel was born and has seen incredible success within an industry that has previously been slow to embrace environmental awareness. Her list of clients now includes HBO, Netflix, Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Pictures, among others. The company boasted a revenue of $260,000 in 2018 and saved producers roughly $533,418 through sustainable efforts. Earth Angel’s involvement with “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” earned the film the title of “the most eco-friendly blockbuster in Sony Pictures’ history,” giving the company a lauded spot in movie-making history and cement-

Picture this: You’re watching television. It gets to the part of the show where the good guy has taken a beating. The bad guy is going to get away. Suddenly, there’s a flash in the protagonist’s eye, and you know tables are going to turn as the hero stands tall once more. The bad guy stumbles and this is it, the climactic moment in which justice is about to be served — and you think to yourself, “I wonder if that prop desk they shattered was from ethically sourced timber, and if the producers have done everything possible to reduce their carbon footprint?” Okay, you’re probably not thinking that. But Emellie O’Brien is. She’s the founder of Brooklyn-based Earth Angel, and works with Marvel Studios, Netflix and others to ensure the productions are environmentally conscious. Movies carrying a budget of $50 million produce roughly 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, according to a 2018 study released by Columbia University. Using strategies ranging from customized waste allocation, eco-education of crew members and carbon tracking, Earth Angel has been leading the charge in reducing the environmental footprint of production sets since its founding in 2013. The seeds for Earth Angel were planted in O’Brien’s youth, O’Brien said. Her time spent as a Girl Scout provided the roadmap to a “leave no trace” philosophy that continued on with her throughout university, where she majored in film at NYU Tisch School of the Arts . “It really wasn’t until college that I began to learn about these various environmental crises from joining different sustainability groups and watching documentaries. My whole push to study film in the first place was because I wanted to help make socially and environmentally con-
ing their status as pioneer within the “greenset”movement. The growth of the company took O’Brien by surprise, and she initially resisted being a business owner. “This has been a massive learning curve for me as I never attended business school. It’s been a very or-
ganic, learn as I go process, but now I can’t imagine myself doing anything else,” she said. O’Brien is proud to be among the many women holding space as leaders within the environmental sector; a growing list including local changemakers Anastasia Plakias, co-founder of Brooklyn Grange Farms, and Julie Walsh, the assistant director of Grow NYC. The film industry, though, is dominated by men, and she still struggles to overcome the challenges that arise from unequal representation. “Women are uniquely poised for this type of work because we’re really good at seeing the forest through the trees and we’re naturally strong in community leadership positions. No one else is going to give us permission so you have to give that permission to yourself and create your own path,” she said. The trajectory of Earth Angel continues to expand, aiming to take over 30 percent of the NYC film industry by 2021. A typical day on the job follows a team of eco-production assistants tasked with monitoring the flow of trash generated on set, placing containers out for recycling and minimizing plastic use and leftover food waste from working crew. Their work has helped divert more than 3,000 tons of waste from landfills, recycle more than one million single-use plastic bottles, and donate an estimated $346,401 worth of reusable materials to local charities. Though O’Brien would like to
keep Earth Angel focused on entertainment platforms, she is hopeful that their mission will spread to other areas that need the “green” treatment. “We are considering expanding in fashion, live events, and concerts where people typically gather for a finite amount of time and they’re consuming a lot of resources,” said O’Brien. “But Earth Angel is largely successful because I come from a film background and it’s easier to create grassroots change when you speak the same language of whomever you’re doing business with.” When offering advice to aspiring entrepreneurs hoping to create a business based on environmental advocacy, O’Brien suggests doing research to understand the crowded landscape of the industry. Sometimes it’s more effective to join forces with others already in the business to obtain results faster. Volunteering is always encouraged, and Earth Angel accepts applications on a rolling basis for those willing to work hard in lessening the impact of production waste on the environment. “At the end of the day, individual action is the real change we’re hoping to inspire,” she said. “Entertainment is very accessible to most people, and we’re hoping our transparency can influence people tuning in to implement change within their daily lives.” Keyshae Robinson is a Brooklyn-based writer.

Who will rescue the damaged Coney Island Boardwalk? I nominate John Catsimatidis, who’s building shoreline apartments. By Lore Croghan Brooklyn Daily Eagle
There’s Adopt-a-Highway. Why not Adopt-a-Boardwalk? The Coney Island Boardwalk’s wooden planks are in urgent need of repair just about everywhere except the amusement park zone. In a New York minute, a civic-minded business owner could come up with the cash to fix up the famous span and create a reserve fund to keep it in good shape thereafter. What an excellent gift that would be for the residents of Coney Island and Brighton Beach, who go to the boardwalk year-round to exercise and enjoy the shore’s serenity. The Riegelmann Boardwalk, as the city landmark is formally named, is 2.7 miles long, so there’s a lot of mess. In a better-run city, the words “landmark” and “mess” would not be uttered in the same sentence. The mess presents trip-andfall hazards for elders, joggers and little kids. Even people who really try to be careful about where they step sometimes stumble and get hurt. So, Brooklyn residents, it’s time to nominate candidates for the role of Adopt-a-Boardwalk benefactor. My nomination is the Coney Island shoreline’s new landlord, billionaire and 2013 Republican mayoral candidate John Catsimatidis. His company, Red Apple Group, has just about finished exterior construction work on two luxury residential towers clad in gleaming glass with bright-white trim. The company calls this 425-unit market-rate rental development Ocean Dreams. This idea of Catsimatidis
becoming Coney Island’s benefactor got stuck in my brain and wouldn’t go away. I decided to ask him if he would consider it. I reached out through emails, tweets and phone calls. And the other day, Catsimatidis called me. Our conversation was brief. I told him about the most seriously damaged section of the boardwalk and asked if he’d consider funding its repair. He asked me to send him a story I recently wrote about the boardwalk’s problems. Several hours later, I checked with his office and was told he hadn’t had a chance to read it. That was a week ago. I haven’t heard back from him. I hope Catsimatidis is thinking about funding a boardwalk fix-up. Some ideas take time to percolate. A landmark covered with a slippery plywood deck The damaged section of the boardwalk that I wanted Catsimatidis to know about is a threeblock span of wood planks between West 24th Street and West 27th Street. It is located a short walk away from his Ocean Dreams development. Instead of fixing the wood planks, the city Parks Department built a plywood deck over them. It has been there since Superstorm Sandy — which happened almost seven years ago. The painted plywood is aging badly. There are wood patches nailed on top of it that you could trip over. In cold weather, ice forms on the plywood. People slip and fall. When I wrote about this boardwalk problem spot, I asked the Parks Department when it was going to get fixed.

A spokesperson for the agency would only say the Parks Department is considering whether it would be financially feasible to undertake a capital project to do these repairs. Earning the neighbors’ good will Picking up the tab for boardwalk repairs could be considered a justifiable expense for Catsimatidis’ company, Red Apple Group, because a truly walkable boardwalk would be a big, wonderful amenity for the tenants of the Ocean Dreams complex. As amenities go, it would be even more impressive than the indoor pool that’s being built at Ocean Dreams. Footing the bill for boardwalk repairs could also be considered a justifiable company expense because it would build

If Red Apple Group paid for a fix-up of the full length of the boardwalk, the company would also earn the goodwill of seniors and immigrants on the Brighton Beach end of the walkway. Or, instead of having his company pay for boardwalk repairs, would Catsimatidis consider footing the bill himself as an act of personal philanthropy? His website says he is “a firm believer in giving back to the community.” Wouldn’t fixing the boardwalk be a great way to do this? It’s world famous, but so damaged. Other wealthy people have been benefactors to the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and other borough icons. Doesn’t the landmarked boardwalk, which has played a role in brightening people’s lives since 1923, deserve a benefactor, too?

teriors are nearly completed are each 21 stories high and stand on a podium. They look like glamorous transplants from Miami Beach. They stand right on the Coney Island Boardwalk. The twin-tower complex, which Hill West Architects designed, is bordered by West 35th and West 36th streets. It has frontage on Surf Avenue and thus 3514 Surf Ave. is one of its addresses. City Buildings Department records also refer to the two towers as 1 Ocean Drive and 2
Ocean Drive. By the way, Ocean Drive is the name of the coolest street in Miami’s coolest neighborhood, namely South Beach. In a 2018 New York Times interview, Catsimatidis said he wants to construct three more apartment towers at the Ocean Dreams complex. That means he could wind up with a massive number of tenants. Like their thousands of neighbors, they’re going to want to walk and jog on the boardwalk without fear of tripping and falling on that nearby plywood deck.

News From Your Neighborhood CITY OFFICIALS INTRODUCE NEW SCHOOL DESEGREGATION PLANS
SCHOOL DISTRICT 15 — In an effort to desegregate elementary schools in northern Brooklyn, the Department of Education proposed two possible admissions process alterations on Friday, the Brooklyn Paper reports. The changes would affect seven schools in District 15. The first option would be a zoning change, shrinking zoning areas for sought-after schools and increasing those for low-attendance schools. The second option would remove school zoning completely and would employ a randomized lottery system to determine enrollment. Both plans would reserve 25 to 35 percent of seats in each school for non-native speakers, homeless students and children receiving free or reduced lunch.
COP IGNORES WITNESSES TO B’KLYN CAR-CYCLIST COLLISION
DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Streetsblog NYC reports that a police officer who responded to a driver’s collision with a cyclist listened to the driver’s story and ignored three witnesses, according to one of the witnesses. The cyclist was hospitalized as a result of the incident, which took place on Jay Street. A passing Traffic Police officer allegedly refused to stop traffic and drove off while the victim was lying in the street. When an officer arrived, witnesses tried to tell him that the driver was speeding in order to try to beat a red light, but the officer was instead interested in how the victim was riding. The accident was the second crash to occur on the street on Wednesday, after a driver making an illegal U-turn hit another cyclist.
CITY PLANNERS OPEN ‘SHARED STREET’ IN DOWNTOWN B’KLYN
DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — City planning leaders opened Kings County’s first “Shared Street” on Sept. 16, which includes Pearl Street and two blocks of Willoughby Street, the Brooklyn Paper reports. The new design creates a safer and more accessible space for pedestrians, and adds tables, chairs and bike racks to the street. It also narrows roads for drivers while introducing an “advisory” speed limit of five miles per hour. Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce President Randy Peers said, “This is forward thinking. This is the future. This is the new Brooklyn.”
CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERS AFTER-HOURS CONSTRUCTION NOISE BILL
LOWER MANHATTAN — Currently, after-hours permits can allow construction work throughout the city to extend through the night. City Councilmember Carlina Rivera, who represents Lower Manhattan, introduced a new proposal on Wednesday that would limit after-hours construction to between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekends, Gothamist reports. Rivera’s bill already has five co-sponsors. Noise complaints relating to overnight construction have experienced a dramatic rise in recent years, as the Department of Buildings has increased the amount of after-hours permits it issues. Real estate industry entities are expected to oppose the bill.
L TRAIN REPAIR WILL END EARLY, SAYS GOV. CUOMO
PUBLIC TRANSIT — Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday that the L train “slowdown” is ahead of schedule and will end by April 2020, about three months sooner than expected. Work on the first tunnel tube is now complete, and work on the second tube will begin this week, according to AM New York. The improvements repair damage done by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. On Sunday, the MTA’s Chief Development Officer Janno Lieber said that the project will be completed within its original budget and that tunnel restoration will last for another century.
SOUNDS OF EXPLOSIONS AT NIGHTCLUB FRIGHTEN WILLIAMSBURG RESIDENTS
WILLIAMSBURG — Sounds of a fire and loud explosions echoed from popular nightclub Schimanski on North 11th St. in Williamsburg on Wednesday, frightening local residents. “It caused some panic. It looked like people were screaming and running for their lives out of the place,” said a local resident. “It seemed like EMS and the FDNY were there.” It turns out that filming for the second season of NBC’s “Manifest” was filming a bombing scene at the venue, Page Six reports. The alarming sounds and billowing smoke were special effects, and the screaming thongs of people were actors.

ADAMS BREAKS ETHICS LAWS AGAIN IN EMAIL TO DONORS
DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — The office of Borough President Eric Adams sent an email blast last week, inviting guests to his annual fundraising gala. Since email recipients included people from companies who have had past business relationships with the city, Adams violated city ethics laws when his office failed to include a mandatory disclaimer stating that donations “will not affect any business dealings with the city or provide special access to city officials.” Adams could face fines and penalties, but when his office made a similar mistake in 2014, he was not penalized. His spokesman Jonah Allen said that the error was the result of “a software glitch,” New York Post reports.

Scenes from the Mexican Independence Day Parade and Festival in Sunset Park.

Sunset Park hosts successful Mexican Independence Parade and Festival
By Jaime DeJesus Brooklyneagle.com
Nonprofit organization Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture without Borders held its annual Mexican Independence Parade and Festival in Sunset Park on Sunday, Sept. 29. Starting at 11:30 a.m., participants and attendees marched along Fifth Avenue between 38th and 60th streets, alongside Mexican folkloric dance, music and community leaders. The festival portion took place during the afternoon at the Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier and featured local artists, cultural groups and nonprofit organizations providing information on immigrants’ rights and other services. “NYCEDC was proud to host this year’s Mexican Independence Parade and Festival at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park, said NYCEDC Executive Director for Sunset Park Julie Stein. “This community event celebrates Mexico’s rich culture, history and unity, and we’re glad to bring neighbors together for a
wonderful experience at BAT.” “This was a really difficult year,” said Councilmember Carlos Menchaca. “I am from El Paso, Texas, and what happened in August was the hardest thing I have ever had to process. When I went home, I thought I would see despair, pain, and rage. Instead, what I saw was love, grace and triumph. It was the Mexican community coming together, refusing to stay in the shadows, and instead proclaiming loudly: We are here, we are not afraid, and we are what make America great.” “It’s very important to us as our organization Mano a Mano Mexican culture was approached by members of the community of Sunset Park,” said Juan Aguirre, executive director of Mano a Mano. “They wanted to celebrate Mexican Independence, but most of all they wanted to celebrate our heritage in a way that it can be displayed and community members who are not Mexican would see the diversity, the colors of our traditions,” he stressed.

Regina Opera Company announces lineup for its 50th anniversary season BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM
For a half century, the Regina Opera Company has been staging acclaimed opera performances throughout Brooklyn at a reasonable price. Over the years, it has also provided a showcase for singers to perform standard operatic repertoire primarily in the original language, in fully staged productions with orchestral accompaniment and English supertitles. Founded in 1970 by Marie Cantoni and Nicholas Tierno, Regina Opera began as a small group of dedicated singers who gave recitals in a tiny auditorium at the Regina Pacis-St. Rosalia Parish Youth Center in Dyker Heights. The following year, the group produced an abridged stage version of “La Traviata” with piano accompaniment. In 1976, it began performing on the larger stage at Regina Hall (the auditorium of Regina Pacis School), and acquired an orchestra in 1982. Photos courtesy of Regina Opera Company
Scenes from a past performance of “Carmen.” In 2012, the Regina Opera moved to its new home: the Our Lady of Perpetual Help School auditorium, whose more professional stage facilities and comfortable audience amenities inaugurated a new era in Regina Opera’s history. The beloved Brooklyn institution recently announced its upcoming lineup, which includes a classic tragedy, a double bill of a comic opera and a Golden Jubilee Concert, and a company premiere of Puccini’s last great opera. “This is an exciting season, it is Regina Opera Company’s 50th season of bringing great opera to our Brooklyn friends and neighbors,” Regina Opera Company’s Executive Vice President Francine Garber told this paper. “This season, as in all seasons, we will present a group of the most talented musical artists — singers and orchestra players – in New York City. Regina Opera has presented the first two operas of the season, ‘Carmen’ and ‘Gianni Schicchi’ previously, but this will be the first time that we will present ‘Turandot,’” added Garber. The season’s first opera is Georges Bizet’s “Carmen,” the tale of a soldier and the
gypsy who beguiles him. The production is conducted by Gregory Ortega and staged by Linda Lehr. There will be a free sneak-peek performance with piano on Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m., with additional performances with orchestra on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 3 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 24 at 3 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 30 at 3 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 1 at 3 p.m. Next up is Giacomo Puccini’s “Gianni Schicchi,” a classic comedy that features a death, greedy relatives and a forged will. The performance
also includes a golden jubilee concert. The play is conducted by Elizabeth Hastings and staged by Lehr. The concert is conducted by Ortega. The free sneak preview with piano is on Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. Performances are on Saturday, Feb. 29 at 3 p.m., Sunday, March 1 at 3 p.m.; Sunday, March 7 at 3 p.m. and Sunday, March 8 at 3 p.m. The last performance of the season is a production of “Turandot,” Puccini’s final work, which tells the story of a mystical prince
who seeks the love of a cold princess. It is conducted by Ortega and staged by Lehr. The sneak-peek performance is on Monday, May 4 at 7:30 p.m. Additional performances take place on Saturday, May 9 at 3 p.m.; Saturday, May 10 at 3 p.m.; Saturday, May 16 at 3 p.m. and Sunday, May 17 at 3 p.m. All performances will be at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Academy of Brooklyn, 5902 Sixth Ave. For tickets and more information, go to www. reginaopera.org.

Open House New York: Our top 10 picks

By Scott Enman INBrooklyn
From design studios and distilleries to rooftop farms and wastewater treatment plants, residents will once again have the opportunity to tour some of the city’s most exclusive monuments, landmarks and architectural gems later this month at Open House New York. With more than 275 sites across the city, and 60 in Brooklyn alone, attendees will have access to spaces that are normally closed or limited to the public during the rest of the year. Think of it like urban exploration — without the fear of getting caught. The annual event takes place Oct. 19-20. Visitors can learn from architects, historians and preservationists about some of the borough’s oldest and newest structures, like the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s archives or the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument in Fort Greene Park. “Open House New York Weekend is a celebration of architecture, but it is equally a celebration of an open city,” said Gregory Wessner, executive director of the weekend-long event. “Openness to new people, new ideas and new ways of living is what sustains New York as the greatest city in the world. “But openness is something that has to be nurtured and protected, and that is what Open House New York Weekend helps to do.” With so many great places to explore, INBrooklyn selected 10 must-see sites.
25 Kent.

He was born Sept. 11, 1958 to the late Richard and Marion Hawkey and attended Plainedge Public Schools. He was named for his dear “Pop Pop,” John Francis Riordan, and was loved by his five siblings as a sweet, gregarious and imaginative child who grew to be a principled businessman and friend with a heart of gold. Starting his career right after high school with E.F. Hutton under the mentorship of his uncle, Robert Hawkey, he later owned his own brokerage firm, and served a term as chair of the Floor Broker’s Association. In later years, John ran his own woodworking shop, worked for Centre Street
Construction and made dozens of friends bartending in his beloved Brooklyn. John loved country music, especially Anita Carter; car racing, especially NASCAR; Brooklyn, especially his friends from Bay Ridge; and baseball and football, especially the Jets and Mets. John was the ultimate “people person,” enlivening every gathering with stories and the occasional practical joke; he had a way of lightening stressful situations with with his ability to make people laugh. Yet, on the serious side he was also known for his professional integrity in business, his steadfast support of friends, and his boundless generosity. He will be sorely missed by his brother Richard (and wife Maryanne), his sisters Mary (and husband Tom), Regina (and husband Jeff), Marian and Rosemary. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews: Francis, Elsie, Ellie, Rina, Avi, Grayce and Adam, and by five great-nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by both of his dear parents. “Now cracks a noble heart; Good night, sweet prince, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!” — Shakespeare. A Mass of Christian Burial was held Thursday, Sept. 26 at Saint Andrew the Apostle Church. All services arranged by Clavin Funeral Home.

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn
Wooden houses are such a sweet surprise in a brownstone neighborhood. I found a bunch of them in the South Slope. The other day when it was 80 degrees outside, I strolled around taking photos of the neighborhood’s beautiful, old-fashioned blocks. In five hours, I covered only part of the area. There was so much to see that I decided to split my story into two parts. This is Part Two. In Part One, I showed you one of the city’s oldest movie theatres, a huge armory that looks like a castle and a Baptist church that’s pretty as an illustration in a fairy tale. If you want to see those pictures, they’re posted on brooklyneagle.com. Today I’m going to focus on rowhouses and the occasional stand-alone house with a yard. Some of the properties I’m showing you are on landmarked blocks. Others are not.

MAJESTIC CORNERS
This house at 278 14th St. is nestled up against an apartment building.
Before we indulge my obsession with wooden houses, let’s look at some of the South Slope’s grand corners. One of my favorites is at Eighth Avenue and 13th Street. There’s a handsome building with a barrel-shaped window bay. The property, whose address is 451 13th St., is located in the original Park Slope Historic District. (See photo top right). The city Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation report about the area, which was written in 1973, says an entire row of houses starting with this one and extending from 1213 Eighth Ave. to 1205 Eighth Ave. were all built in 1900 by an owner-architect named William Musgrave Calder. Nearby, on the corner of Sixth Avenue, there’s another residential building with a curved window bay. Its address is 331 13th St. (See photo, bottom right, opposite page). It, too, has a nifty row of barrel-vaulted rowhouses alongside it. This cluster of homes is not located within a historic district. Another favorite spot is 528 Fourth Avenue on the corner of 14th Street. (See photo, top, opposite page). There, you’ll see a red-brick residential building with an eye-catching rectangular window bay over its front door. The ground-floor tenant on the corner is David West Real Estate.
around 1885, the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s 2012 designation report about the Park Slope Historic District Extension says. The houses extend from 406 13th St. through 418 13th St. They have very deep front yards like you’d expect to see on landmarked Carroll Gardens blocks. Verdant trees and shrubs partly shroud the South Slope houses from the view of passing drivers and pedestrians and make this block a green oasis. Before you end your South Slope stroll, be sure to check out the 13th Street block between Eighth Avenue and Prospect Park West. It’s located within the original Park Slope Historic District. On the even-numbered side of the street, you’ll find handsome limestone and brownstone rowhouses that were built in the late 1890s.
SMALL-TOWN TRANQUILITY So. About those wooden houses. In some spots, they are stand-alone homes with big front porches — the very picture of old-fashioned, small-town tranquility — except they’ve got an apartment building sprouting up alongside them. Such is the case with 278 14th St. Another charming wood house at 251 13th St. is in the same situation. Some of the prettiest wood houses with porches can be found at 286 and 288 14th St. I’m also a fan of the porch — and house — at 286 13th St. There’s a row of wood houses starting at 272 14th St. that’s worth a look. Close by, a cluster of wooden houses with mansard roofs stands at 244 13th St.
EDENIC FRONT GARDENS In addition to the wonderful wooden houses, there’s a surprise worth watching for on 13th Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues. The surprise is a row of 10 Neo-Grec brick houses. They were all built for one owner named Mary Wood of October—3,A2019 • INBROOKLYN — A Special Section of Brooklyn Eagle/HeightsPress/Home Press/HomeReporter/Brooklyn Reporter/BrooklynSpectator/Brooklyn Spectator/BrooklynRecord/Greenpoint Record/Greenpoint Gazette Gazette • 17INB October 3 – October 9, 2019 •Week INBROOKLYN Special Section of Brooklyn Daily Eagle/Brooklyn Eagle/Heights

The dedication of the first section of the museum of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences took place this afternoon with impressive ceremony. At 3 o’clock the exercises began in the American gallery of the institute building on Eastern Parkway. This large and handsome room will be the sculpture gallery when the magnificent home of the institute has been finished, but at present the walls are hung with the portraits of famous Americans. A platform had been erected at the end of the room and in front of it were rows of benches extending to the door of the gallery. Immediately in front of the platform and to the left of the room the Grant Post was seated and on the left were the officers of the institute. The guests occupied the center seats. There was little attempt at decorating the hall, only a
few silk flags being tastefully draped over a gigantic picture of [George] Washington back of the platform and another group of flags surrounding an oil painting of Samuel Chester Reid, designer of the American flag. This painting originally occupied a position on the side of the gallery, but for this occasion has been removed to a prominent place near to the portrait of Washington. The picture was painted by John Wesley Jones in 1815 and is one of the treasures of the institute. At 3 o’clock, the assemblage was called to order and the choir led the audience in singing “America,” all standing and joining in the hymn until the building rang with the national anthem. The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, president of the council of the institute, then rose and offered the prayer of dedication. He invoked the Divine blessing upon the museum.

When using a hammer, like a claw hammer, for home repair, never hit nails with the side or head of a hammer as the metal is not as hard as the metal of the striking face and could be damaged. If you get chewing gum stains on your clothing, place a newspaper (like the Brooklyn Eagle) over the top and give it a quick iron to save the day! Nothing is permanent! Even if your babies used a marker on the walls, toothpaste is a fine abrasive that will remove pretty much anything it touches!

ANXIETY & DEPRESSION TO GOODS , SERVICES & EMPLOYMENT
ON AUG. 22, 1969, a few days after the end of the Woodstock Festival in upstate New York, Brooklyn Spectator columnist “Uncle Walt” wrote, “Couldn’t help thinking the other day, it’s bad enough to look at even one of those hippies — or hippie types. Can you imagine 400,000 of them — all at one time?? It is frightening though to think that so many of our young people are like that. They’re escapists, in our book. But there seems to be enough of them to start another political party. Can you imagine them running the country? We blame our involvement in the Vietnam War for a lot of these conditions. The only hope is that once that thing is settled and out of the way, a lot of these other conditions will fade away and die.”

ON OCT. 3, 1913, the Eagle reported, “Historic Plymouth Church had its first baptism of fire this afternoon, in a blaze that broke out in the Sunday school building in the rear of the house of worship, and fronting on Cranberry street, near Henry. The flames were confined to the Sunday school room, and destroyed the Sunday school organ, a number of books, and one or two pictures, but it is not believed that the loss, including the damage to the building, will exceed $7,000. The church proper was unharmed. Since the beginning of the erection of the Beecher Memorial buildings, which occupy much adjoining property, an army of men, masons, plasterers and carpenters has been busy on the premises. It is believed that the fire this afternoon was due to the carelessness of some of the workmen who were in the habit of taking their luncheon in the partly dismantled Sunday school room.” ON OCT. 3, 1952, the Eagle reported, “Communist teachers must be kicked out of the schools if academic freedom is to be preserved, the Brooklyn College Kingsman, weekly undergraduate newspaper, asserted today. In its lead editorial, signed by editor-in-chief Estelle B. Siegal for the publication’s policy board, Kingsman said that a teacher cannot be a Communist and still maintain ‘moral integrity.’ … Pointing out that American concepts of freedom and basic moral integrity are the opposite of the Communist position, the editorial said: ‘The Communists must be dismissed from the schools not for what they believe, but for their deliberate underhanded methods and distortions of facts; for their admitted endeavor to indoctrinate their pupils and use any means at their disposal to get their views across; for their readiness to exploit any issue in order to spread Communism, and for their aid in spreading vicious attacks on their own colleagues through anonymous literature.’” ON OCT. 3, 1954, the Eagle reported, “Cleveland — Happy Heroes, Inc., otherwise the Giants of New York, are the new baseball champions of the world. Here in the warm Ohio sunshine, they today completed the job of crushing the crestfallen Cleveland Indians for the fourth straight afternoon. They won the final game by a score of 7 to 4 for the first National League four-game victory in exactly 40 years … The 1954 Giants do not compose a ‘miracle’ team. But they do form a surprising one. Their National League pennant, sparked by the well-ballyhooed efforts of Willie Mays, wasn’t impressive enough to make them pre-series favorites over the Indians, who set an American League record by winning 111 games on their way to the flag. But they came through in the easiest possible fashion to end a string of seven straight American League World Series successes.”

Mets’ Alonso donates customized cleats to 9/11 museum By Jake Seiner
The Associated Press
Mets slugger Pete Alonso visited the National September 11 Memorial & Museum on Tuesday to donate the custom cleats and baseball bat honoring first responders that he used in a game on the 18th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Alonso presented the equipment to museum President Alice Greenwald. He said “it means the world� that the memorial wanted the gear for its permanent collection. “Just being here in New York, I just wanted to show every bit of gratitude I could,� Alonso said. “Not just for the first responders, but for the families as well who were directly impacted. You guys will not be forgotten.� The 24-year-old rookie surprised his teammates with customized spikes to wear during a game against the Ar-
izona Diamondbacks, which the Mets won by scoring nine runs on 11 hits. He had spent weeks jotting down their shoe sizes, preferred brands and styles, then hired a company to paint them red, white and blue with lettering for first-responder units. The museum reached out to Mets Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon about acquiring Alonso’s shoes. “I barely got the words out of my mouth that the museum wanted them and Pete was saying, ‘Absolutely,’â€? Wilpon said. Greenwald thanked Alonso for “such a meaningful gesture of remembrance and respectâ€? and called it an “extraordinary gift.â€? “They might smell a little,â€? Alonso warned. He added that it was “seriously an honor.â€? Alonso and fiancĂŠe Haley Renee toured the museum before the presen-

tation ceremony, which ran about 30 minutes late because Alonso was so deliberate exploring the exhibits.
