Hotel developers file to replace historical Brooklyn Heights building
A New York real estate development firm has pre-filed an application for a new building permit at the site of the Romanesque Revival building that has been there since 1886.
The permit outlines plans for a 14-story hotel, with 37 hotel rooms, and a three-floor eating and drinking establishment with a terrace on the 10th floor, according to Brownstoner.
The historical six-story building in question is located at 186 Remsen St., and as of 2011 was named the oldest building in the Borough Hall Skyscraper historic district.
