7 Windsor Place
The Art Teachers
Eric Jacobson and Nancy arrived at number 7 as part of the artist-teacher wave that moved into Windsor Terrace in the late 1970s and 1980s. The neighborhood was still affordable. The park was there. The block was quiet. PLUTO confirms JACOBSON ERIC as the current listed owner. Eric suffered a stroke in his mid-60s. They became part of the permanent fabric of the block.

Connections
Eric and Nancy were part of a cohort of teachers, artists, and musicians who moved into Windsor Terrace in the 1970s-1990s.
The artist wave layered into the block without displacing the Irish-American and working-class families already there.
Mike German and Sarabeth Brockley lived at #7 as tenants for approximately seven years. The block's history became personal here.
