Hello Anthony and Kevin,
Here is a photo of West 15th Street showing the Clement Hotel, Dempsey's Crown Bar, the Firehouse, and Gargiulos. All of these buildings except Gargiulo's Restaurant were demolished several decades ago. The firehouse was demolished on its 100th birthday in 1995.

Thank you so much for posting a photo of my Aunt Marys bar the Crown I didn't know the awning got ripped
Dempseys crown bar

Dempseys crown bar
My sister and I spent many a Christmas at Aunt Mary and Uncle John's bar... I am pretty sure John was a retired captain of the 60th precinct
Dempsey's and Clement on W15th St
Dempseys and Clement on West 15th St can be seen in the movie The Pick-Up Artist (1987), and more of Coney Island, obviously.
West 15th St., Coney Island
Does anyone have a photo to post of a rooming house just across from the Fire Station? The address was 2922 W. 15th St. The building is no longer standing as it became a parking lot. It was just next to Tony's Rooming House, but a bit closer to Surf Ave. It was owned by Abe Fleminger.
Some tenants in that rooming house were Lilly Sheridan, Tessie Dundy, Dave Altman. Does anyone remember them?
Thanks,
Arlene Amblard
Rooming House
Hi my aunt had the bar across the street the crown bar from the rooming house this lady Rae Fuchs had run the place and the parking lot when i was a kid she had this little dog named sunshine
Clement House
My father who died in the early 1900s spoke about the Clement House and the family connection. His father was Clement Browne and I am trying to find any information about it - what transpired, etc. I have an old photo but it doesn't look like this hotel at all.

When did the Clement Hotel finally close. I can not find any information about it closing or being taken down
