==History==
The mansion has had a colorful history. It was originally designed by leading Brooklyn architect Frank Freeman for industrialist Herman Behr, an abrasives manufacturer and the father of tennis player Karl Behr and golfer Max Behr.
The Behr family eventually moved upstate, and in 1919 the Behr mansion was substantially expanded and became the Palm Hotel, which was a brothel in its declining years.〔 p.604〕 It became a Franciscan brothers' residence in 1961, in conjunction with their operation of St. Francis College. It was converted into rental apartments in 1977.〔 In 2008, the building exchanged hands for $10,980,000.〔("Herman Behr Mansion in Brooklyn Heights Sells For $11M" ), ''Brooklyn Daily Eagle'', 2008-03-24.〕
The story that Xaviera Hollander's brothel was in the Behr House is an urban legend. It was in an apartment building at 73rd Street and York Avenue, according to her book, ''The Happy Hooker''.
