Architectural Finds, 06/25/2023

Today's walk was short, I was just going in to DoBro to get some things from target but of course I had to stop and take some pictures along the way. Here are some architectural highlights from the walk there.

First were these row-houses along Fulton St, and this cool corner window aspect that the end house had.

Built 1882.

Located at 664-674 Fulton St these seemed like they were all the same architect save for the third house in at 668 that looked like it been rebuilt at some point or maybe covered with a brick facade.

You can see some of the rusting from the old Cast-Iron facade that was cutting edge technology in the day in the second picture.

Another row of houses that caught my eye were this row of brownstones with their beautiful ornamentation around the door frames. This is right around the corner at 109-117 S Elliot Pl.

I have no way of knowing if they were all built by the same owners originally as I cant seem to find any records for them online :/, but they were likely built around the turn of the last century 1890-1910 when this style of building was commonly constructed. It was likely that they were built by separate owners/architects, as their ornamental stone decorations aren't all exactly the same.

Moving on, A CHURCH! That's right I love a good ornate church and this one surely delivered. Just look at that gothic stone articulation above the entrance! Its so organic looking, it sends shivers down my spine just looking at it and I want to sink my teeth into it all in one.

Built in 1931 to the tune of the Hanson Place Central United Methodist Church, and today it sits abandoned, boarded up, and full of black mold.

The overall shape of the building is so interesting it has so much going on with its MASSIVE brick pillar motifs, likely intended to vertically gesture up toward the creator.

One source describes it as "Gothic restyled in modern dress, an exercise in massing brick and tan terracotta that might be called cubistic Art Moderne."

Someone with more theological architectural background could go further in depth than I can on it I'm sure, but it's always exciting to see the passionate attention to detail that a good cathedral has in it's architecture.

Next I don't know if I love this one but I just wanted to shout it out as having a BIG clock face! Like that thing is so high upppp it must be 100 feet in diameter!

Without even looking it up I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say this is maybe Brooklyn City Hall, or another government building??? It resembles the thing they're doing in all of the governing buildings I've seen up in Albany.

I don't particularly like this architectural style its boring and chunky in my opinion, but I have to say its not the ugliest thing I've seen. I respect the sense of radial symmetry its upper terraces and flanks suggest, and cmon you cant knock that clock.

Second to last, we have this red & black beauty. Love the Greek-Revival pediments on each wing of the building as well as the renaissance revival inclusions in the carved cords/ribbons hanging in between the pilasters.

After some research, this seems to be an old Schoolhouse built in 1892 that has unfortunately since been absorbed by the ultra-modern townhouse on the end of the street at 81 Hanson Pl and transformed into a massive painting studio/home by painter David Salle. Wish I could find more info on the original schoolhouse tho :/

HONORABLE MENTION: Caught this Mansard Roof moment on my way into the subway station and oof, tug at my heartstrings this is cute.

Across the street from the dream studio/abomination this guy sits pretty at 83 Hanson Pl and is the only brownstone on the block with a cute hat (mansard roof).

Everything that was objected by JD team and sustained by the judge.

It includes:

Testimonies by Dr. Laurel Anderson, Dr. David Kipper, nurse Debbie Lloyd, nurse Erin Boerum Falati, Dr. Amy Banks, Dr. Connell Cowan and Dr. Bonnie Jacobs. Everything that Amber Heard told them about Johnny Depp abusing her during their relationship was considered a hearsay and wasn’t presented to the jury. Johnny Depp also told his therapist about burning himself and self harming when he was young, it was objected and sustained as hearsay.

Woke up about 10 AM it's 65 degrees

Even though it's barely March, since all winter it's been freezing

This is cause for celebration. Cause for picnics and coffee

So I opened up my savings and grabbed a couple twenties

And it felt just like a day away from home

Walked over to Nelson's where my bike was getting fixed

Total damage: 34 bucks. I said, "Keep the extra six."

I'm doing well today. I came home last week with enough to live

I rode south to grab a package

'Cause our postman never rings the bell, he only leaves a slip

And sometimes he doesn't even leave a slip. He's such a dick

Waiting in line for thirty minutes and I finally get my box

Hold the door, they don't say thanks. I fumble with the lock

And my bike hasn't rode this well since the day I picked it up

A Ford Explorer jumps the light and I can't really stop

And it feels like an alarm clock

I tuck and roll like in the movies and slide across the concrete

Everybody's all, "Oh shit!" and blood is dripping down to my feet

But I get up and keep moving it's a busy city street

Keep on moving. Busy street

Ride the seven blocks to Boerum, carry my bike up two floors

Situate the crowded hallway, limp and waddle through my door

Throw the package onto my bed, start investigating sores

The cuts are bigger than expected. I guess I shouldn't have worn shorts

I thought about the winter. Under layers, I wouldn't bleed -

Drinking root beer, watching football. Oh, I never thought I'd be

In that place everyone went to but it really just took me

A couple extra years to get there, though at least I did feel free

For the most part of your weekend, save the rubbing alcohol sting

Oh, it felt just like vacation 'til I slaughtered my body

And it's kind of fucked in Florida, skies are grey instead of blue

I can't shrug off the awesome weather but I can surely dress my wounds

It felt just like a vacation but

Still, we complained until

We all felt jaded and

Started to hate it

Felt just like a vacation but

Still, we complained until

We all felt jaded and

Started to hate it

Felt just like a vacation but

Still, we complained until

We all felt jaded and

Started to hate it

Felt just like a vacation

Until we complained

It felt just like a vacation

Until we complained

It felt just like a vacation

People on here making snappy posts saying we are spinning the narrative around to insinuate a rape victim is the actual abuser, as if it has not already been proven that said alleged victim lied about at least the majority of the injuries she supposedly sustained and also got caught on tape saying “I did not hurt you, I did not punch you, I was hitting you. […] You’re a fucking baby. You are such a baby, grow the fuck up Johnny!”

Hear me out: use your fucking brains and get yourself some first hand information from multiple witness statements, depositions and tape recordings instead of relying on some news headlines or a 20 second soundbite.

She described Australia as a 3 days hostage situation where he slapped her, choked her, punched her, raped her with a broken (?) bottle, threw bottles at her, threw her across the room, bashed and slammed her body and her head onto surfaces repeatedly etc.

Nurse practitioner Debbie Lloyd, concierge physician Dr David Kipper, JD’s head security Jerry Judge and house manager Ben King etc. were on scene within 24 hours after JD’s finger was severed, and none of them saw any visible injuries on AH. Her own nurse Erin Boerum did not observe any injuries the day after when she saw her. (see below for edit)

Note that bruises do not fade after just one day, and most of the injuries she sustained would have been clearly visible. She said she had vaginal bleeding. She would've had fresh cuts all over her body. Bleeding cuts. Bruises all over, especially her face. It does not matter if the people there were on JD’s payroll, they were medical professionals and would have given her medical attention if they saw her bleeding and bruised.

They were literally secretly recorded by her on tape, and in terms of injuries, they only talked about finding JD’s finger tip, getting him to hospital and nothing about giving AH medical attention or any of her alleged injuries. JD had medical records for his finger injury. She had none for the injuries she would have sustained with the severity of violence she alleged she was subjected to. I mean, punches, slaps, slams, being choked and shoved against surfaces for 3 days? She’s an actress, whose appearance is extremely important for her career and livelihood. Yet, she was completely fine to just fly home to LA (with Ben King, btw who saw nothing on her) without getting any medical attention, where her own nurse saw her and also observed no injuries. Why? BECAUSE SHE HAD NO INJURIES.

Edit: Jerry Judge did say “she had scratches on her left arm which Debbie talked about. I looked at it and I’ve seen those scratches before on other people, and as far as I’m concerned, they’re self inflicted.” Ben King also corroborated on the scratches. But afaik, that’s the extent of the injuries AH sustained anyone ever talked about on tape in Australia. Let’s say the scratches on her left arm were not self inflicted, they still do not match her own testimony about her injuries in terms of sort or severity.

People do not believe her, not because she is a woman (although that is true in many many cases of abuse and assault), but because she lied. Countless times. Ridiculous lies that could be debunked easily if you just look at the evidence available. She ruined her own credibility.

Yes, rapists deserve to rot in hell. And abusers who lie about getting raped to victimise themselves need to be held accountable. But go make your uninformed higher-than-thou takes if that makes you feel better about yourself.
