🏛 What’s a Brownstone?
Brownstones are iconic New York row houses made from reddish-brown sandstone. Built mostly in the 19th century, they’re known for their high stoops, elegant trims, tall windows, and unified facades. These homes are more than architecture—they represent a piece of Brooklyn’s living history.
You can spot beautiful brownstones throughout Brooklyn, especially in neighborhoods like:
• Park Slope – stroll along Carroll Street or Garfield Place
• Fort Greene – check out South Oxford Street or Lafayette Avenue
• Clinton Hill – look around Clinton Avenue and Washington Avenue
• Bedford-Stuyvesant – see historic rows on MacDonough Street and Hancock Street
• Cobble Hill – visit Dean Street or Strong Place
• Brooklyn Heights – wander along Willow Street or Pierrepont Street
• Greenpoint – our workshop neighborhood! Take a walk on Milton Street, Kent Street, or Noble Street to admire the local brownstone charm.
