The Brooklyn design duo Barry Borderon and Jordan Slocum are known for restoring century old red brick buildings (brownstone buildings).
The four story Bedford Stuyvesant building they took over this time has been given special significance as it was once the home of Susanna E.
C.
Russell, one of the first female developers in 19th century Brooklyn.
Susanna’s designs, such as plaster tapestries, wooden curved panels, and ceiling reliefs, have been transformed into the restoration of the ‘North Star’.
