Architecture & Property Types
Brooklyn Heights Brownstone Architecture
Brooklyn Heights is defined by Federal and Greek Revival row houses dating primarily to the 1820s–1850s — among the oldest brownstone architecture in Brooklyn. Many properties have Manhattan skyline or harbor views. The historic district, designated 1965 as NYC's first, subjects exterior alterations to LPC review; interior renovations are unrestricted.
