Presenting The Williamsburg Firehouse Lofts, a condo conversion like you've never seen before.
1196 Metropolitan Avenue was originally an active firehouse and home to Engine Company No. 206, otherwise known as The Brooklyn Gashouse Gang. After its closure in the late 1970's, the building transformed into an underground music venue called the Metropolitan Social Club where live music and wild parties were known to ensue. Later on, in the 1980's the firehouse was converted into artist lofts where many local artists called home for over 30 years. Today, these six, unique, loft residences are available for sale for the first time ever!
