334 & 336 Myrtle Avenue, between Carlton and Washington Park, as seen in 1986.

Throwback to 1986 at 336 Myrtle, between Carlton & Washington Park.  The buildings look quite a bit different today than they did 28 years ago.  Today, the fully restored buildings, which have apartments upstairs, is now home to the new Humo Smokehouse at 336 and Dr. Jan’s medical office at 334.  Chung Chun Kitchen, seen in the photo, can still be found on the block.  They’ve moved next door to 338 Myrtle Avenue and have called that block home for more than 30 years.

Both buildings pictured above underwent facade restorations back in 2009.  The restoration project received support from the New York Main Street Grant program.  This program has assisted with the rehabilitation more than 30 historic buildings on Myrtle Avenue in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.
