The years of warfare surrounding the Brooklyn Navy Yard's desire to demolish the historic but decrepit mansions along Admiral's Row to make way for a new supermarket and more commercial space may be nearing an end. Crain's reports that the Navy Yard's operator and the National Guard have reached a deal to demolish all but one of the residences (Timber Shed gets the reprieve), and the details will be revealed to community groups in late April. A crushing defeat for preservationists, and one we're bound to hear more about. [Crain's, previously]
