The landmark Herman Behr Mansion at Henry and Pierrepont streets in Brooklyn Heights has sold for $10,980,000, according to the Brooklyn Eagle. The new owners plan to renovate the units and keep them as rentals.
This property has a fascinating history as a high-society mansion -- the owner's son was saved from the sinking of the Titanic (see here) -- as well as a house of prostitution and the Franciscan House of Studies and Residence, though local rumors state that it was a place for the monks to “dry out" (see here).
