"House of Horde" in Brooklyn, NY
Central Ave. and Moffat St. near Evergreen Cemetery
While I have biked past this house many times in the past, I didn't get to go in
for fear of being ambushed by the potentially territorial homeless. Leo, the
kind homeless man, told me trucks were coming to haul all the junk away and open
the place up. I learned that the junk belonged to a woman named Brenda who,
rumor had it, bought the place for a single dollar. Anything she would find,
she would throw into the house. But she sold it to some guy, and they threw
away all her smelly stuff. Unfortunately for Leo, this means he's loosing his
home. I brought him a beer and lunch before I started snapping pictures to try
and make up for it, although it really won't.
On the day I arrived, they were clearing out the second story. I don't have
the pictures, but I know that two days before these were taken, the downstairs
was even more of a disaster zone than this.
