Horseman is Down

The building housing Horseman Antiques, at 351 Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill is up for sale. Its listing in the Prudential Douglas Elliman web site reads, "Extremely Rare Loft Building In Boerum Hill. A Development Explosion In Downtown Brooklyn Promises To Get Certainly The Most Experienced Investors Excited In This Fabulous Find. This Loft Building Is Delivered Vacant. Ready To Become The Newest Stylish Condo Or Upscale Department Store. It's That Versitile (sic). Great Location. Near Everything. R7a/Db With C2-4 Overlay Zoning. Opportunity Knocking Loudly At Your Door." A mere $8,000,000 and it's yours.

UPDATE: Here it is July 2009 and the building has not sold. Not only that -- the For Sale signs are gone and Horseman is still in business.
