About the Astral Apartments
In Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, at 184 Franklin Street, stand the Astral Apartments. Construction took place in 1885–1886, and the aim was affordable housing for people who worked at Charles Pratt's Astral Oil Works. The block-long building is made of brick and terra cotta in the Queen Anne style. Lamb and Rich are listed as its architects.
The design has a projecting central section with a recess of a deep round arch, three stories high, and the roof carries decorative grotesques that face inward. Original amenities included a settlement house, a library and a kindergarten, and the ground floor first housed a Pratt Institute Free Library branch.
Its design echoes red-brick apartments that George Peabody had built in London for workers. In 1982 it joined the National Register of Historic Places, and in 1983 it became a New York City landmark. The building is the fictional setting of a 2011 novel by Kate Christensen, The Astral.
