1320 DITMAS AVENUE

Ditmas Park West, ca. 1920

The eclectic mix of homes in Ditmas Park West is the work of multiple builders who purchased lots from Lewis Pounds (who would later become Brooklyn Borough President) beginning in 1903. This neo-Tudor house is particularly notable because it is rumored to have been the home of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, film stars of the 1920s and 1930s.
