Last Days of the Loew House.
Lulu and Charlie lived on for many years in the servants' wing of
the house with innumerable cats. Their car was used only to go to
church, elsewhere they rode their bicycles. Charlie was hit by a car
while riding his bicycle and died as a result, leaving Lulu to finish her
secret life alone, possibly dying from the effects of malnutrition
since their miserliness was well known to everyone. The final years
of the house were obscured by legal entanglements. When it was
offered for sale,eager and interested buyers were turned away for
some mysterious reason. Though boarded up, the house and its
contents were vandalized before it was eventually torn down in
1972, leaving behind many unanswered questions and a legend of
bygone days. _
No longer in existence is the Victorian house built by J. Bene-
dict Roache on the corner of Fifth Street and New Suffolk
venue. His wife was a McLaughlin, a family prominent in Brook-
lyn politics, and his sister, Carrie, was known forer showplace
-xardene�s�s the street.
