Across from the Girls High School on Macon St. (#29) are the terra-cotta and brick Alhambra Apartments designed by Montrose W. Morris, a leading Brooklyn architect. The arcaded, mansarded, chimneyed, and dormered Alhambra contained 30 9-room apartments when it opened in 1889. Nearby is the Renaissance, Morris' 1892 masterstroke, in a French Chateau paradigm. Down Tompkins, the campanile (like St. Marks in Venice) is from the First AME Zion Church.
I could not resist the side-by-side matched-pair screaming yellow Humvees.
