This image depicts a historical photograph of a group of brick duplex two-family houses designed by Mann & MacNeille, architects, located in Brooklyn, New York. The buildings consist of multiple floors with uniform architectural styling, characterized by rows of windows, patios, and awnings. The layout suggests residential housing intended for families.

Above the photograph, there is a label identifying the type of construction: "Two-Family Houses - Brick Construction." Below the photograph, a description provides details about the buildings, including costs, rental income, and usage. It explains that five groups of these houses were built, typically containing seven rooms, a bath, and servant toilets in each unit. The total cost per apartment (including land and building) is $9,000, generating $60 monthly rent, with a gross return on equity of 14 1/2%. Additionally, it notes that demand for upper apartments was just as strong as for the lower ones — the upper apartments used the flat portion of the roof for a yard, while the lower apartments used the rear yard.

Surrounding the buildings are minimal trees and open land, with streets visibly dividing the scene. The image has a vintage aesthetic, reflecting early 20th-century architectural styles and urban planning.
