End of a Century: House Old Over 100 Years on 47th Street Headed for Demolition

Yisroel R.

Another piece of old Boro Park appears to be heading towards the history books, as the century-old house at 1419 47th Street has been fenced off in preparation for its removal.

Built in 1915, the house has stood for more than 110 years and remained in use until recently. Throughout those decades, it stood through the many stages of Boro Park’s growth, from a neighborhood that was once just a quiet suburb of the city to the bustling community familiar world wide today.

What will replace the house remains unclear, with no details about the upcoming development publicly available so far.

The property is another example of the changing landscape in Boro Park, where older houses have been making way for new construction.
