Brooklyn's old Ethical Culture Building is up for sale ~ $30 millions worth:


Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture’s home is on the market for $30M
53 Prospect Park West was designed by William Tubby

53 Prospect Park West (Google Maps)

A mansion that has served the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture for three-quarters of a century has hit the market, asking $30 million.

The single-family home at 53 Prospect Park West was designed by architect William Tubby in 1900. Seven years later, Tubby returned to the property to add an extension with a sun room and billiard room. Brownstoner first reported the listing.


The now 5,724 square-foot building was commissioned by financier William H. Childs. The Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture purchased the property in 1948 and has held it since then. The group has used it as a venue for meetings, weddings, community gatherings and other events.

The property features the largest private garden in Brooklyn — 9,800 square feet. Inside, the home boasts high ceilings, oversized rooms, a curved staircase and marble fireplaces.


The listing for the property states that it may be used as a “magnificent private home or museum, library, school or concert hall.” Given that it sits in the Park Slope Historic District, any exterior work would likely need the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s blessing.

Corcoran’s Judith Lief and Talia Magen have the listing.

The home faces competition from another Prospect Park West mansion built at the same time just three blocks away. The former abode of actors Jennifer Connelly and her husband Paul Bettany hit the market in March at $12.25 million — or 60 percent less than the Ethical Culture manse’s asking price — and at 6,500 square feet, it has some size on its neighbor.






Walked by that building many times over the years.

Neat story.

speaking of football, I attended a youth fb match of our municipal club team (age under 14) - they won the game 27-0 over Spring Lake Park ~ one rather striking moment was towards the end of the game as a mom yelled out PASS THAT BALL MOTHERF*******R!

was rather shocked at the usage and how everyone was laughing -- turns out it was the QB's mom who likes to joke around that way


and you thought Brooklyn, NY was unusual - for weirdness, Lake Wobegone can give Brooklyn a run for its money :lol:

Attended a junior varsity football match at South St Paul High School today. We had a most unusual visitor: a young coyote who sat just behind the goal posts. He must have enjoyed the game cause he stood there for quite a while. Afterwards a few of the students chased it away. Too bad. He was likely there just to make friends. :lol:

Sorry DMac, I remember this was an old commercial from about 10 years ago. I don’t remember what kind of truck but they were pretty creative.
