15 Greene Ave

 

A row house in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. It was built in 1860, along with its two neighbors. Designed by Nicholas Rhodes, they followed the Italianate style typical of brownstones of the time, but featured peaked roofs which distinguished them from the usual flat-roofed buildings around them.

Yu Interiors, on the first floor, has been there for a long time. I used to live in this neighborhood in the early 2000s, and it has been there at least that long.

Ash

 Life drawing from a few days ago. The model was Ash. I went to Minerva's Studio, the former Spring Street Studio. I used to go there all the time, but it's been awhile. I'm glad it's still around.

M Schames Sign

I sketched this distinctive storefront some years ago. The business relocated many years ago, but its sign remained. I just heard that the building is being demolished, but the cool news is that the sign was saved by the New York Sign Museum.
