Estate sale. Four stories, two families. All boarded up… You’ve walked by it many times, and quig among others has commented on it in the Prospect Heights Message Boards (somebody, quick! find the link!). Is that the right street address?

Brownstoner says: “all we know is that there’s original oak detailing and it ‘needs work’. (Given the relatively low price tag of $999,000, we’re guessing it needs a lot of work.) As a bonus, it’s on one of those sweet 131-foot lots particular to Prospect Heights.”

UPDATE: Crowhiller writes: “Hmmm… looks like 375 Park, right across the street from me. If it is, it needs more than just a little work. It was Daphne Weeks house, a wonderful Calypso bandleader lady from Trinidad. She’d call over then kiss all the “young men” walking down the street. She passed away early Nov. last year (it was a very sad month), then a couple of weeks later, around 2 AM, the house burned spectacularly–gutted from bottom to top. A bit mysterious. My granny, her friend, died three days after the blaze. They were both 99 or so. Why (or how) would a realtor list the wrong address?”

pennysmith reports in the Prospect Heights Message Boards: “Shooting between Franklin and Classon, about 10 minutes ago (approx 9:30 pm, Mon., Oct. 3). Five loud shots, followed by a car tearing down the street. A few minutes later, two ambulances came.”

“A lady on my part of the block came running out of her house, yelling ‘Where is my son!’ Apparently at least one person was shot.”

“A few minutes after the shooting, after the police were there, another car came tearing down the block and stopped right in front of my house. A guy jumped out of it, screaming ‘Get back in the crib, man!’ And was promptly, and vigorously, arrested.”

Any bets on whether or not this will make any kind of news tomorrow?

The long-awaited renovations have begun. So far, they’ve torn up the mats, and apparently have not done much else in the past 2 weeks.
