Original details, particularly the multiple fireplace mantles (there are a dozen fireplaces!), well-preserved wooden door frames, the built-in mirrors and exquisite banisters harken back to the Golden Age of brownstone construction, at the peak of the Italianate and Greek revival building periods in what was then Brooklyn's wealthiest neighborhood.
