Brooklyn · built 1880
This single-family home at 42 St. Marks Avenue is nestled in the heart of brownstone Brooklyn, a neighborhood known for its historic residential charm.

The property, located on block 935, lot 28, is described by city records as a one- or two-family dwelling. Today, it is officially recognized as containing one residential unit. Its construction date places it among the many late 19th-century homes that define the character of these tree-lined streets.
