Carter’s Review

"This handsome, 5-story complex at 55 Poplar Street between Hicks and Henry streets in Brooklyn Heights was erected in 1883 as the Brooklyn Newsboys Lodging House and in 1987 was converted into 113 condominium apartments known as Bridge Harbor Heights. 

The conversion was undertaken by Landmark Restorations of Brooklyn and the Crossland Savings Bank.  Wids De La Cor initially designed the project and later Charles A. Platt Partners of Manhattan, according to a November 2, 1986 article in The New York Times by Lisa Foderaro.  The article quoted Louis V. Greco Jr., a principal of Landmark Restorations as stating that “those vacant buildings bled a desolate feeling into the area” adding that “this will extend the character of the Heights to its natural border.”"
