This "one-of-a kind home" was designed and built around 1950 by the late Edward Ferenczy, whose wife Eleanor still lives here. The chimney and dining room are made out of stones that the Ferenczys gathered from the property.

When Edward was a young man, he and his father and brother built a 30-foot-long boat named the Margeann, which sat in the yard here for many years and was still around when the Street View car passed by in 2007. (I'm not sure what the story is with the smaller boat and the buggy seen in this 2013 Street View image.)

A subtle reminder of who's in charge here?

This is the side of someone's garage.

This two-block-long street is more than a mile from the ocean. But like its neighbor one block to the south, Parkway Court, it is bisected by Ocean Parkway.

Pardon the abrupt transition, but it turns out that this narrow little block-long street, Lawn Court, was once home to Jacob Tannenbaum, a Jewish Holocaust survivor who, in his 70s (somewhere between 72 and 79, from what I've read), was stripped of his US citizenship (though not deported) after confessing to charges that he served as a kapo, or inmate overseer, at a concentration camp, "brutalizing and physically abusing prisoners outside the presence of German SS personnel."

Founded in 1980, this is the oldest banya (Russian bathhouse) in Brooklyn. And you can virtually walk around inside it in Street View! See how many oak veniks (used in platza) you can find.
