LPC says ‘not so fast’ to development next to church
Holy hellfire!
Big-bucks landlord Larry Wohl wants to construct a six-story, four-unit apartment building in landmarked Brooklyn Heights that would loom over the nave of historic St. Charles Borromeo Church.
But the city Landmarks Preservation Commission didn’t give its blessing at a public hearing Tuesday to the proposed transformation of 144 Clinton St. — which is a single-story Art Moderne-style commercial building — into a 75-foot apartment house with a glass storefront.
