BREAKING NEWS: Historic Duffield Street Home Saved from Eminent Domain
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
DDDB is reporting that the home of Brooklyn activist Joy Chatel, at 227 Duffield Street, believed by many to have been a stop on the Underground Railroad, has been spared the eminent-domain wrecking ball.
Given New York City's usual M.O., we checked our calendar to make sure today was not April 1st. It's not, and sure enough, Chatel, FUREE, South Brooklyn Legal Services and the Four Borough Neighborhood Alliance have issued a joint press release.
Duffield Street Underground has the release.
