This plush and once-proud recliner comes to us from Dekalb Avenue in Bed-Stuy where Miss Heather found it communing with a couple of old TV sets. While the staging suffers from the fact that the TVs have been carelessly placed behind the recliner, it’s still easy to picture kicking back in it and watching.

March 16th, 2008 · Comments Off on Street Couch Series: Bed-Stuy Office Couch
Here’s one from the streets of Bed-Stuy via Miss Heather. We call it Waiting Room Couch with Mattress and Trash as it combines all three vital elements. At least, we hope that’s a waiting room couch, because it sure doesn’t look like something comfortable to have at home.

We can’t say we’ve focused on this building before, but it has risen at 1056 Bedford Avenue at Clifton Place and it is the work of architect Robert Scarano. Our Roving Correspondent Miss Heather sent in these shots, along with the comment that it’s “an argument for contextual zoning.” The building has been hobbled by […]

Fingerlike on Kosciusko Street in Bed-Stuy
March 5th, 2008 · Comments Off on Fingerlike on Kosciusko Street in Bed-Stuy
This is 31 Kosciusko Street in Bed-Stuy between Bedford and Nostrand. Miss Heather emailed it over after having a look at new construction in the neighborhood because it struck as being somewhat Fingerlike. We agree that it has the essential qualities that make a Finger Building, although the height of the building it adjoins doesn’t […]

Can you find the One Way sign in this photo taken on Lewis Avenue in Bed-Stuy? It’s not that hard to locate in a photo, but we can see where it might be a bit challenging in a moving car and could result in some issues if the direction of the street in question is […]
