A Bit Of Faux-Moorish Architecture On 9th Street

9th Street between Court And Smith Streets

Number 184 9th Street

In between a row of 3 story brick townhouses on 9th Street between Court and Smith Streets, there is a home that is not quite like the others. Beige and blue stucco, marble columns and glazed tiles have turned this house into a bit of an oddity. The balconies jut out onto the sidewalk which is rather strange. The effect of all these elements rather reminds me of Moorish architecture, which doesn't quite work here in Brooklyn.

Does anyone have any information on this place? How long has it looked like this?
