This is a picture of natural gas lanterns that typically adorned the historic rowhouses in NYC before electricity. Very few landmark rowhouses display natural gas lighting today. Even interior rowhouse lighting was gas during pre-electric lighting back in the day. I took this photo in 2005, and I hope these gas lights still adorn this historic rowhouse's entranceway in Manhattan's East Village. I will continue to post pictures from 20 years ago that I took while exploring my fascination with landmark rowhouses every few days. Please look at my real estate calculators, mortgage calculators, and business plan calculators. I spent a significant amount of time programming them and displaying them for your use.

Historic rowhouse owners often adorn their properties with flower arrangements, shrubs, unique trees, and stone fixtures. Please look at my real estate calculators, mortgage calculators, and business plan calculators. I spent a significant amount of time programming them and displaying them for your use.

The photo, taken in 2007, captures a historic frame rowhouse renovated in 2007 in Brooklyn Heights. The rarity of rowhouses with frame construction in NYC makes this sight truly remarkable. I'm filled with wonder, imagining the couple who chose to invest in this unique piece of history, and their dedication to maintaining and living in such a treasure. It's like living in a Rembrandt or a living work of art. Each of these historic rowhouses, with their unique stories, demands a special commitment to maintenance and preservation as we strive to blend history with modern living. Please look at my real estate calculators, mortgage calculators, and business plan calculators. I spent a significant amount of time programming them and displaying them for your use.

My father grew up in Manhattan, and he was a romanticist who was very educated and cultural. When I was a kid, we visited NYC. I would sit in the car at age 5 or 7 and romanticize about living in NYC in a historic townhouse with a Christmas tree in the window. All the hustle and bustle of NYC and the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. FAO Swartz on 58th street and 5th avenue. When I graduated college, I looked to buy a historic rowhouse (not an apartment) to fulfill my vision. I searched Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Hoboken but eventually ended up in Downtown Jersey City. The photo below is one of my favorites, taken in 2003. I hope it inspires you like I am inspired.
