Brooklyn Heights is one of the most graceful neighborhoods of the city, with over 600 pre Civil War buildings and an atmosphere of 19th century gentility. It was America's first suburb, just across from lower Manhattan, sold as the best of the country, yet 20 minutes from the bustle of New York. The houses reflect many styles of architecture, while presenting a unified streetscape of fine townhouses built in harmony with each other. It is also well known for its churches, built by the most prominent architects of their day. Located on a bluff overlooking the East River and Manhattan, it has the famous Promenade, with its spectacular views of Manhattan, the harbor , and the Statue of Liberty. The tour winds through the neighborhood, where I talk about the architecture, its rich urban history, the area's many prominent residents, and its place in the history of Brooklyn and New York. You will quickly see why many consider Brooklyn Heights New York's most beautiful neighborhood.
We walk along many of the neighborhood's streets, from north to south and east to west, stopping at buildings and views which are important to note. Many street names reflect the property owners who created the neighborhood like Pierrepont, Joralemon, Hicks, Middagh, Remsen and Montague. There are also the "fruit" streets of Cranberry, Orange and Pineapple. We looks at many fine houses, and also churches, apartment buildings, some commercial buildings and parks.
