History & Context History & Context 38 HICKS STREET, BROOKLYN 38 HICKS STREET, BROOKLYN BUILT IN 1810, AS A 3-STORY WOOD-FRAMED HOUSE WITH AN ATTIC, SIDED IN CLAPBOARD. AT THAT TIME IT WAS KNOWN AS #32 HICKS STREET. THE GABLED ROOF WAS REMOVED AND THE ATTIC BUILT OUT AS A 4TH FLOOR (Yellow shading) IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY, PRIOR TO THE 1886 SANBORN MAP, SHOWING IT AS 4 STORIES, BUT AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BRICK BUILDINGS ABUTTING IT TO THE NORTH. THE GABLE ROOF FRAMING STILL EXISTS AT THE NORTH AND SOUTH WALLS. THE ITALIANATE CORNICE AND WINDOW FRAMES REPLACE THE ORIGINAL FEDERAL STYLE ELEMENTS WHEN THE 4TH STORY WAS CREAT- ED, THE PEDIMENT OVER THE ENTRY DOOR WAS ADDED IN 1967, WITH A FACADE RENOVATION. THE 1-STORY EXTENSION APPEARS ON THE 1855 PERRIS MAP, WITH A SIDE PORCH. THE PORCH DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE 1940 TAX PHO- TO. THE SLOPED ROOF IS VISIBLE IN THE TAX PHOTO AND THE SOUTH WALL WERE REBUILT SUBSEQUENTLY TO CREATE A ROOF TERRACE - THE WHOLE EXTENSION NOW BEING THE FULL WIDTH OF THE 4-STORY HOUSE (Orange shading).
