Overview
257 Washington Avenue is a former church and school in the Clinton Hill Historic District of Brooklyn. The block-through property is improved by an existing church building on Washington Avenue and a contiguous school building facing Hall Street. The Hall Street building is overlooking Pratt University’s campus across the street.
The proposed plans call for a condominium project with eight luxury townhouses – four in the church structure and four in the school. The project is expected to obtain Landmark commission approval on this plan in the first quarter of 2018.
