Forgotten New York shows 50 Diamond Street's lost woodwork before its aluminum siding
On a December 2018 walk through Greenpoint, Kevin Walsh of Forgotten New York posted a photograph of 50 Diamond Street from before it was covered in aluminum siding. He noted the detail on the exterior, including a shelter over the entrance, window lintels and roofline trim, and an elaborate ironwork fence. Walsh wrote that much of the ornament was wood, which rots or burns easily, and that later owners removed it and sided the house, making it safer but plainer.
