Cinderblock style in Brooklyn

From Brownstoner:

A tipster walked by last week and was not particularly impressed: Along with this photo of the townhouse at the corner of 23rd Street and 7th Avenue, here's what he had to say. "No rebar in this wall, many holes cut, many filled in and now, wacky windows.

Granted, this is the back of the development, but damn... what's with those windows?

Solid man!

Put some bars on the openings and it will make a great holding cell for Gitmo detainees!

Funny how everyone notices, and complains, about these places except the preservation community.

Considering that a good number of these organizations are controlled by developers is it any surprise?

Kind of looks like old Soviet-Bloc housing. How nice...
