Jade Doskow has been watching this house change over the last 8 years from somewhat falling apart to completely becoming enveloped in these green vines. It is one of the oldest houses in the neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn, and underneath the weeds features Victorian wooden detailing and is actually quite quaint. The woman who owns this building refuses to sell it, as her husband passed away in it years ago. It retains an aura of great mystery and a sublime beauty, as it slowly falls apart and becomes one with the earth.
