The Prospect Heights biennial house tour is TODAY: Sunday,
October 18th from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Rain or shine.

Appease your curiosity. See how the other half lives. be voyeuristic. Get ideas. Dream.

The self-guided tour will
include 11 wonderful homes and apartments. As one of Brooklyn’s premier
brownstone neighborhoods, Prospect Heights’ historical and aesthetic
significance was recognized by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on June 23rd when it created the expansive Prospect Heights Historic District. Prospect Heights was recently featured
on the show “This Old House” and was commended by LPC Chairman Tierney
for its “architectural integrity and diversity, scale, tree-lined
streets and residential character.” From restored Victorian brownstones
and limestones, to stylish new row houses and apartments, to the
impressively modern “On Prospect Park” by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier,
Prospect Heights is indeed an architectural smorgasbord.

The tour will
include all this and more and will showcase the unique character of
Prospect Heights even as the imposing and controversial Atlantic Yards project proposes to make its own mark on the neighborhood.
