The Broken Angel House in Clinton Hill was one of Brooklyn’s most unique landmarks. Artist Arthur Wood purchased the tenement building in 1979 for $2,000 and subsequently transformed it into a whimsical, livable sculpture, complete with stained glass windows made from bottles and glass, a cathedral-like glass addition, and brick wings. It was also the backdrop for the documentary Dave Chappelle’s Block Party.
Barrett Design and Development purchased the site at 4-8 Downing Street in January for $4.1 million. And it will be repurposed as a condo development, with sales launching next month and a new teaser site up and running.
Construction at the former Broken Angel House
The attorney general recently approved the plan for the conversion, and according to alteration permits, the four-story building at 4 Downing Street will have eight condo units. Partitions are already framed at the site, and workers are installing windows, plumbing, electrical, and sprinklers. Next door at 8 Downing, they are readying to pour the concrete foundation for a four-story, two-unit building. The condos will feature garden units and rooftop terraces.
A drawing of an angel on the construction fence is a reminder of the building’s past. Click through the gallery below for photos of the construction progress.
