<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 12786, member: 78&quot;]Hi Pat,</p><p>&nbsp; Carroll Gardens was a &quot;cleaned up&quot; name of this side of Red Hook. It started at the Gowanus Canal down to the Highway. It was where the Longshoreman&#039;s Hall was. I loved my apartment there. I had six rooms, two fireplaces. It was the entire 2nd floor of a 1860 brownstone. It had a front yard and a back yard and deck. My landlady God bless her let me do what ever I wanted. She did not know that there were built in shutters at the windows until I unnailed them. She had the parlor floor and basement, I had the 2nd floor and the third floor was rented. I only had 11ft ceilings.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /> the 3rd floor had 8ft but her parlor had 12ft but the owners before her had installed an acoustical tile ceiling at 8ft. After I showed her the real ceiling she almost stroked out. Anyway by the time I opened up her floor. It was a beauty. All the decorative plasterwork was all hidden including a seven ft wide ceiling medallion.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
