Winner of a NYC Landmarks Conservancy Award for historic preservation, the George B. and Susan Elkins house, dating to approximately 1852, was painstakingly restored, enlarged and modernized in 2019. This building, the oldest remaining house in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, has been recognized by the NYC Landmarks Commission as an Individual Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The house was essentially a ruin prior to the renovation. Interiors had been gutted, there were gaping holes in the roof and the exterior was badly damaged and covered with layers of non-historic siding. The exterior was completely restored to historically-accurate condition and the extensions at the sides were designed to be distinctly modern but deferential to the historic facade. The new interiors are thoroughly modern and many of the finishes utilize materials reclaimed during demolition.

The two towers, one for guest bedrooms and one for living in provide a very different view. The one is full of windows for light and the other is kept simple.

The main view of the home is dominated by the 3 towers that come together to form the front elevation.

An ants eye view of the front elevation, the towers look especially imposing.

The wrap around porches provide plenty of space to sit outside and enjoy the views of the water.

Here you can see the house step back from the main road as the lower level porches provide some buffering to the noise and the farther back you go, the higher you get for enjoying the views.
