Brooklyn Heights
Brooklyn Heights became New York City’s first neighborhood to be designated as an historic district, and for good reason – it was the heart of the abolitionist movement and the homes and churches that adorn its streets, are some of the finest examples of American architecture. With the help of the Brooklyn Historical Society, “Blueprint | NYC” tells the story of this remarkable neighborhood: from Henry Ward Beecher’s Plymouth Church to the construction of the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. |
