Property Description for 101 Lafayette Ave, 9-D
Absolutely beautiful all original pre war apartment in Fort Greene’s premier classic building "The Griffin". The Griffin is a former luxury hotel that use to house the likes of Pavarotti and Caruso when they graced the stages of the Brooklyn Academy of Music just down the block prior to World War II. This apartment is quite rare for the community as it is much grander and spacious than a cut up brownstone yet unlike the current trend in architecture, it is nothing short of magnificent. This is one of the largest most generous lay outs in the Griffin. It is a corner unit overlooking the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church (one of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s last executed stained glass windows grace the church and is also a reputed stop on the "underground railroad" during the American Civil War era. It is on a park block and it has excellent access to 14 subways, the Brooklyn Flea, the Farmers Market.

Fort Greene | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Conveniently situated just north of the beautiful and lush Prospect Park, Fort Greene is rich with history. Representative of an aesthetic that Brooklyn is often associated with--the brownstone and row house architecture being an institution of the community--Fort Greene is decidedly singular in visual style. As part of the National Register of Historic Places, this South Brooklyn neighborhood offers unique charm and plenty of character.
Beginning with its early military-oriented inception (the territory was central to the Battle of Long Island), Fort Greene has always been recognized for its spaciousness and a sense of openness. Filled with nature and greenery, it is also home to its very own eponymously named park in addition to being in close proximity to Brooklyn’s largest recreational area, Prospect Park (containing the beloved Prospect Park Zoo within it).
Many residents come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and commute to their workplaces in Manhattan, while keeping Fort Greene as their separate haven. The diversity of the area has proven to be one of the few examples of a Brooklyn neighborhood maintaining its roots in part thanks to its protected status.
