Hal Ashby’s 1970 film The Landlord explores the “brownstoner” movement through the eyes of a naive dreamer played by Beau Bridges. Its climax takes place on Columbia Heights as seen in the photo above. While we discuss the brownstoners of yesterday and today at the Brooklyn Bugle, we thought it would be fun to talk about how Columbia Heights looked back in 1970 here. What’s changed?
