When pitching houses for sale over the week of Thanksgiving in 1897, an ad assured buyers considering Rutland Road that while they should observe the Thanksgiving Day presidential proclamation of thanks, it shouldn’t stop them from taking a look at the modern houses on offer. Popping up just before the Thanksgiving holiday this year is 49 Rutland Road, which still contains details like hardwood trim, mirrors, and bookcases that the ad<\/a> promised, along with some updates for the 21st-century buyer. <\/p>\n

One of a stretch of five, single-family houses<\/a> in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District, it was constructed by owner and builder John C. Sawkins and designed by architect John J. Petit<\/a>. Plans were filed<\/a> for the houses in February of 1897, back when the road was known as Tulip Street<\/a>. The next year<\/a> Sawkins submitted plans for another row of Petit houses with the same neo-Federal touches, like keystoned lintels and wreath and swag ornamentation. No. 49 has those details as well as an oriel window projecting from the second floor, which can be seen more clearly in the historic tax photo<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This house was last on the market in 2007 and was featured in a House of the Day<\/a> post, which noted the rich level of detail inside. It sold for $1.425 million in 2008, and while the new owners tweaked the floor plan, updated mechanicals, and added central air, many of the original details appear intact.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> Single Page<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
