Brooklyn Beat, who has a blog called Deep in the Heart of Brooklyn, sent me word that the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission will be holding a public hearing to review the Proposal for the Landmarking of the Fiske
Terrace- Midwood Park neighborhood in Flatbush on October 16th:

Interested residents are invited to attend the public hearing at the LPC’s headquarters in the Manhattan Municipal Building, One Centre Street, 9th floor at Chamber and Centre Streets. (The scheduled hearings begin at 9:30 AM)

Fiske Terrace – Midwood Park
is a unique, wooded suburban neighborhood within the predominently
urban Brooklyn environment, with detached single family Victorian homes
built around 1905-1906.  Fiske Terrace runs from the Q train subway
line to Ocean Avenue, between Avenue H and Glenwood Road. Midwood Park
is adjacent, bordered by the Q train on the west, Glenwood Road on the
south, Ocean Avenue on the east and Foster Avenue on the north. The two
neighborhoods were developed as suburban communities.

The Historic Districts Council http://www.hdc.org/neighborhoodatriskmidwoodfiske.htm
gives further detail on this unique historic area: 

At the turn of the 20th century, a number of real estate developers
purchased large tracts of farmland and woods near the sleepy market
town of Flatbush, Brooklyn, and began to develop a suburban oasis
affording wide lawns and spacious Victorian houses at a convenient
distance from the City. The historic neighborhoods of Flatbush retain
to a remarkable degree their integrity as early 20th-century suburban
developments more than 100 years later.

Midwood Park
was constructed by developer John Corbin in the first decade of the
20th-century on what had previously been farmland. The houses were
built using Corbin’s method of standardized construction. Buyers could
choose from thirty distinct models, but uniform construction
techniques, materials and assembly methods were employed to minimize
cost and boost efficiency. The wood-shingled houses are relatively
grand: set back from the street on large lawns, they have open porches
and rich interior detailing in the style of the time. The streets have
a landscaped median and are lined with mature trees. The neighborhood
must have represented a striking alternative to city living. Midwood Park
has undergone few inappropriate alterations. It remains a unified,
coherent and harmonious suburban neighborhood in an urban context. The Midwood Park
Homeowners Association is advocating in consultation with the Historic
Districts Council for historic district designation for the
neighborhood.The adjacent Fiske Terrace features more elegant houses
but retains an intimate sense of place through its historical
integrity. In 1905, T. B. Ackerson Company purchased a densely wooded
tract of land and immediately cleared it, laid out streets and
installed underground water, sewer, gas and electric lines. Eighteen
months later, the former Fiske estate had been transformed by some 150
custom-built, detached, three-story suburban houses with heavy oak
ornamental mantels, staircases, beamed ceilings and built-in bookcases,
ornately bordered parquet floors and elaborate cabinetry. A landscaped
median and hundreds of street trees planted at the time of development
continue to contribute to the idyllic feeling of the neighborhood —

Recent articles in the NY Times and local papers, which included
interviews with Fred Baer, former Fiske Terrace Association president,
who has helped to shepard this proposal through the Landmark
Preservations Commission’s Review process, indicates that very strong
support from area residents and public officials suggest that the LPC
may support a favorable decision on the application for historic-area
designation.  The Commission sent letters to area residents (including
Brooklyn Beat)  in August regarding the placement of the proposal on
the Commission’s calendar in September. The calendaring of the public
hearing last month and the actual public hearing tomorrow
are important steps toward designation.  Fiske Terrace will mark its
official centennial this year.
