Want to go back in time? Check out this photo from 1978 of an apartment in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. It’s one of a collection of very cool images taken by photographer Dinanda Nooney back in 1978 and 1979. She snapped the interiors of about 200 homes across Brooklyn, from Park Slope to Bed-Stuy to Bushwick and so on. It’s amazing to look at these images now and see how things have changed. We have a bunch of the photos on our Digital Gallery, and today, Gothamist highlighted 21 of them in a very nice blog post. So if you love real estate, take a look!
Awesome time capsule. Potted trees, check. Tile floor, check. Crate-like sofas, check. And for those in the neighborhood: it’s in one of those 1970s townhouses on Willow Place!
Paul Rudolph’s Kappa Sigma house on the Auburn University campus was built in 1961. Rudolph was actually a member of that fraternity when he went to Auburn and the fact that he ended up designing the new building (long after he’d left school), is pretty cool. There’s a renovation in the works/future, which is good, because it’s in pretty bad shape.
Never knew about this one.
Brutalism, a micro-lesson in architectural history told in photographs.
Admit it, you were afraid to ask. Paul Rudolph was scary!

“I was aware that my pictures were being used to illustrate others’ ideas, so I started making stories to express my own ideas about the world,” Hetherington said.
