English video game producer Dan Houser, co-founder of Rockstar Games and one of the dudes responsible for the Grand Theft Auto series, has been given leave to put a pool in Truman Capote's old house, a Brooklyn Heights townhome built in 1839. A note to anyone trying to get a pool past New York's Landmarks Preservation Commission: package it with changes aimed at restoring the residence to its Greek Revival roots. [Curbed NY]
