NEW SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTIONSOLD OUT!
Join PHNDC and CuRBA for a Jane’s Walk led by noted architectural historian and writer Suzanne Spellen.
Prospect Heights is unique in that it includes exemplary examples of Brooklyn’s industrial, residential, commercial, religious and educational architecture. Divided by Flatbush Avenue from Park Slope, to the west, and the Atlantic Avenue train yards, to the north, Prospect Heights has its own special story to tell. We begin with a magnificent proto-cathedral built through faith and end with a secular cathedral containing some of the world’s greatest art and culture. In between lies residential and commercial architecture spanning 100 years of growth. Did you know that half of Prospect Heights was part of the original plans for Prospect Park? That story and much more on this tour.
The walk will be a little over 1 mile, walking slowly, with half a dozen stops. It will be along sidewalks and mostly flat. There may be a few stairs, but we can assist anyone who has difficulty with them. The closest subway to the beginning and end of the walk is along the 2, 3 subway line with stops at Atlantic Avenue/Barclay’s Center, Bergen Street and Grand Army Plaza. The Q subway train also has stops at Atlantic Avenue/Barclay’s Center and 7th Avenue. Local buses are the B41, B45, and B69. There are Citibike locations in the area.
This event is currently sold out. If you would like to join a wait list, you can do so here. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
