210 Linden Boulevard

RudolfAhrens · June 2015

210 Linden Boulevard, one of the most interesting houses in Flatbush, is being torn down.

Described by Brownstoner as "Four-Square with Renaissance Revival/ Beaux Arts style ornament", it's been in rough shape for a while. Apparently it was used as doctor's offices for decades and had several additions and alterations over the years.

Right now there is a stop work order on the fence. Along with two neighboring buildings, it was slated to be torn down for a condo building. The buildings next to it are completely down already. This one has just the facade left.

Anyone know why there's a stop work order?

I want that stonework lion's head!

Pay one of the construction guys to save the lion's head for you.

Went there today to do just that. Nobody was there, though.

I had to gather my most recent neighborhood momento from a trash bin.

Here's my neighborhood memento–in my back yard since K-Dog closed a few years ago. K-Dog Sign

Now the lot is for sale. Not sure what's going on here. Another flip?

Developers sometimes sell their properties when they decide they:

- have too much work on their plate

- need the $ for a more profitable project

- have had a falling out with the lead contractor who was going to build it.

- lose their financing, or want to use the financing somewhere else.

- can earn a nice profit based on the work they have already done with the DOB.

I miss K-Dog as well, but Tip of the Tongue is a worthy successor.
