World Lives on Court StreetHappy Centennial,Warren Place MewsIn 1878, a secluded courtyard closed at both ends by graceful frongates and lined with individual homes was planned by AlfredTredway White (1846-1921), an advocate of housing reform. Thissection became known as Warren Place Mews. The mews islocated in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, which has been designated anHistorical Landmark in 1970. It is situated between Henry and HicksStreets with the entrance on Warren Street.The homes were designed in the Romanesque Revival style of themiddle 19th century. The narrow houses were grouped in pairs undera continuous cornice with arched doorways. A special design featureof these houses is the turning at right angles of each pair of houses atthe ends of the court so as to face outwards onto Warren Street andBaltic Street. The houses were initially constructed to be rented out toworking people.One hundred years later, the Warren Race Mews is celebrating itscentennial anniversary on Sunday, October 1.
