I’ve wanted to live in a brownstone for as long as I can remember. While I work toward that multi-million dollar goal (wish me luck!) I’m spending my days finding fun facts about brownstones that you probably didn’t know. For instance: Did you know you could zipline over the original quarries from which most of New York’s brownstone came?
