Just about two weeks ago, 'Home Court' Furniture' at # 286 Court Street had a sign in the window stating that they were remodeling. Now, it seems that the store is closing its doors for good. A new sign announces that the store is for lease.
Though I have never really bought anything there, Home Court was the only furniture store in the immediate area for years, until of course, Ikea came to Red Hook. Home Court offered basic pieces, mostly geared toward the apartment dweller, but the prices certainly were much higher than the Swedish superstore's.
Over the week-end, the store was selling out its stock, including a stuffed deer.
So, pardon me for asking, dear Reader, but will you miss the place? Did you shop there? What would you like to see in the space now?
And of course, for you Carroll Gardens old timers, what stores were there before?
My own memory is fuzzy as I only remember it being an annex to the paint store across the street at 285 Court Street, which has since closed as well and still stands empty.
