History of Park Slope prewar w/ tiniest studios?

This 1920s coop has one of the tiniest studios I've ever seen, 280 sq ft (#3L), and there are many more there. Does anyone know the building's history? I've found nothing w/ Google or Newspapers.com. Curbed made fun in 2015 of a 300-sq-ft studio there with a brick-wall view (#3N). At least #3L's big windows look on to the park. Let's say you live on takeout (this building favors an ovenless,...

This 1920s coop has one of the tiniest studios I've ever seen, 280 sq ft (#3L), and there are many more there. Does anyone know the building's history? I've found nothing w/ Google or Newspapers.com. Curbed made fun in 2015 of a 300-sq-ft studio there with a brick-wall view (#3N). At least #3L's big windows look on to the park. Let's say you live on takeout (this building favors an ovenless, 2-burner, sink-counter setup). #3L's single 280-sq-ft room had more usable space than a 380-sq-ft former-townhouse studio-plus-kitchenette I've also seen (103 PPW, #5R): the latter's sleeping alcove and bay windows, despite brownstone charm, will limit your furniture use. You can do more with less in a rectangular box (discounting cooking). Plus, #5R's brownstone's thin wood floors and walls could never compete with the thick concrete of this prewar pile. 300 8th has mausoleum-quality build. [less]
