  • Free Piano

    I have a piano that came with the house I recently purchased and have no need for it. I need to get it out of the space quickly, so I'm making it available for free to the first person who can arrange to pick it up this weekend.

See attached photos. It is located in Windsor Terrace near the border with Park Slope. It's in the garden floor, and...  More»

  • FREE quarter sawn Oak bookcase/secretary unit. Victorian.

    I found this in the trash and could not let it go. It needs some work, not much. someone like myself could have it in really good shape in two hours.

Some clown put some machine screws through the fold down desk piece, so they would have to go or be replace with something attractive. this could be really nice, real easy. I do not have the room for it or we would keep it. To give you a better description: it has a bookcase about 5' hig...  More»
