Some of the former employees who used to work in government offices in a Brooklyn landmark are now coming home to one of the condominiums in the newly converted building.
"Despised as a symbol of bureaucracy gone wild, 110 Livingston St. was sold to developer David Walentas when the [New York] Board of Education was dismantled. A former schools spokesman predicted it would be 'the least missed building in the history of New York City government.'
But he was wrong. Just ask Joan Rosenberg.
She and her husband, Neal Rosenberg, have purchased a two-bedroom condo in the 1920s-vintage beige-brown brick building, which was designed as an Elks Club by famed architects McKim Meade & White.
'We have fond memories of the building,' said Joan Rosenberg, who was assistant to the director of citywide programs from 1978 to 1983 and is now a New York University professor. 'We developed wonderful programs for kids who would not have been able to stay in school.'"
Several other new residents have connections with the old building, one of several historic condo conversions in downtown Brooklyn.
