Survey notes 1863 Cornelia Street's roof can be seen from the elevated M train platform
Read more
The landmarks survey of 1863 Cornelia Street noted that its roof may be visible from the platform of the elevated M line's Forest Avenue station. The house kept its carved limestone door surround and historic areaway railing, but had lost its stoop to a brick-and-cast-stone replacement and its windows to aluminum ones.
“Roof: May be visible from platform of elevated “M” line – Forest Avenue stop.”
