The Prospect Heights biennial house tour will be on Sunday,
October 18th from noon until 5 p.m. Don't miss your chance to go inside some gorgeous and grand brownstones.
What a fun way to indulge in healthy voyeurism and real estate envy.
The self-guided tour will
include 11 wonderful homes and apartments in a neighborhood that was recently recognized by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on June 23rd when it created the expansive Prospect Heights Historic District.
Prospect Heights was also 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.”
Landmarks Preservation Commission. This Old House. Double kudos.
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.
