Built in the 1890s, this Dyker Heights manse was designed by one of Brooklyn’s prolific architects and retains an impressive amount of period detail, both inside and out. Individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the single-family dwelling at 1135 84th Street has mantels, pocket doors, built-ins, stained glass, and other original details. For holiday light lovers, it is also in the midst of the blocks that glow during the neighborhood’s annual display<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Plans for the construction of the house in the developing suburban enclave were filed in 1898<\/a> by owner Simone Saitta<\/a>. A wholesale fruit dealer, Saitta and wife Beatrice, both born in Italy, hired John J. Petit<\/a> to design their home and were in residence by December of 1899<\/a>. The house is in many ways a typical Queen Anne, with a tower, gables, and a deep porch, but Petit added<\/a> layers of Tudor-inspired ornament. Petit would later show off his skill with a variety of architectural styles in his work for Dean Alvord in Prospect Park South<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The residence was highlighted in an issue of Scientific American Building in 1901<\/a> and the blurb accompanying the illustrations provides a wealth of information on the original interior and exterior details. Described as a dwelling “in the English half-timbered style” it also had interiors treated “in the Elizabethan style” with beamed ceilings, built-ins, leaded glass, and wood mantels. Census records show that the spacious house was filled with a mix of extended family and servants until the couple separated and the house was sold in the 1920s.<\/p>\n %<\/span><\/span> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> | %<\/span><\/a> Single Page<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
