"Within the Crown Heights North II Historic District, the house is one of a row of seven Neo-Gothic dwellings designed by Axel S. Hedman for owner George F. Beatty. Plans were filed in 1896 and by 1899 Beatty was advertising the houses with "artistic stone fronts" as having the latest amenities including electric lights and hardwood finishes. No. 896 sold that year to Charles N. and Eva W. Kreiser, and the couple lived in the then single-family house through the mid 1920s."
"There are some fairly lush details inside this Crown Heights rental on the parlor floor of an 1890s row house. Plasterwork, wainscoting, moldings, a mantel, stained glass, and a pier mirror are all to be found in the two-bedroom, 1.5-bath unit. At 896 Park Place, the row house is a short walk away from the Brooklyn Children's Museum and Brower Park."
