Eye On Real Estate
After decades as a Montessori school, the Tracy Mansion will have people live in it once again.

His proposal to create seven apartments in the stunning neo-Classical white limestone house at 105 Eighth Ave. in Park Slope failed to pass muster with the city Landmarks Preservation Commission at a public hearing in January.
The commissioners sent Scott Henson Architect LLC back to the drawing board after objections were voiced about proposed design elements such as incongruous-looking metal balconies on rear windows.
