In 1965, LPC designated Brooklyn Heights as the city’s first historic district, praising its “special character” that retains “much of the atmosphere of a 19th-century urban community.”

In the 1950s, new residents began to convert buildings into individual residences, and groups like @thebhanow and other community organizations were established and supported the preservation of the neighborhood.

Celebrating 60 years of the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, the first historic district designated by LPC! The area became residential in the early 1800s as ferries linked Brooklyn and Manhattan, and its streetscape of brick & brownstone homes remains largely unchanged today.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at LPC! Our office is closed today in observance of the holiday.

Today, LPC designated two new historic districts in Brooklyn: Beverley Square West and Ditmas Park West. Both historic districts feature distinctive homes built around the turn of the 20th century as Flatbush transitioned to an early suburban development: https://t.co/siqai5HWl1
