Thursday, October 2, 6:00 – 8:00 pm, join the Brooklyn Historical Society for the launch of the Park Slope Neighborhood & Architectural History Guide, written by OTBKB fave and Park Sloper, Francis Morrone, which looks at the people, events, and architecture of Park Slope, past and present.

The guide covers Park Slope’s days as a horsecar suburb and the emergence of the "Gold Coast" of Brooklyn’s elite; the working-class history of the South Slope and the mid-20th-century demographic changes that brought new groups, including Italians and African-Americans, into the neighborhood. The guide pays special attention to Park Slope’s magnificent architecture.

Become a member at the launch and receive a first edition copy of this fascinating publication! Guides will also be available for purchase at the BHS gift shop and online at www.brooklynhistory.org for $10 for non-members and $8 for BHS members.
