418-422 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY
This group of three houses on Classon Avenue, Brooklyn was designed by Frederick B. Langston and Magnus Dahlander in the early 1890s. The two men designed some of Brooklyn’s most interesting row houses and flats buildings. They specialized in the Romanesque Revival/Queen Anne style, characterized by the massing of shapes and forms, a combination of building materials, such as smooth and rough-cut brownstone, brick, and terra cotta, along with ornamental stained glass and decorative pressed metal. The use of Romanesque-style arches was a big feature of the Classon houses. The Pratt Area Community Council, advocate and developer of affordable neighborhood housing, developed all three properties as one large condominium called “The Hawthorne.” Feder & Stria Architects made 12 condo units. The building is now a fine example of creative and affordable rehabbing and is again a neighborhood landmark.
