Classic Archtecture on Rogers Avenue

Today's "Buliding of the Day" on Brownstoner is an interesting post about "the Flats" - a strecth of apartments on Rogers between Lefferts and Sterling.

I don't want to pinch too much, but here is a snippet of the write up:

The facades of these buildings are bursting with fine terra-cotta Classical busts of Minerva-like goddesses with laurel leaf wreaths, swags, elaborate keystones, arched windows,and an ocean of dolphins, which are symbols of prosperity and hospitality. By the 1960's and 70's, half of these buildings were sealed up and abandoned, and photos from Property Shark in 2007 show them being gutted and reborn, at least two of them a part of a HUD program.

Thanks, Adrian.
