Master masons restoring Prospect Heights's historic façades, stoops, and ironwork since 1995. LPC-approved for Brooklyn historic districts.
Prospect Heights is one of Brooklyn's more recently-designated historic districts — protected in 2009 after a decade of community advocacy. The neighborhood's row houses date primarily from the 1880s and 1890s, contemporary with Park Slope to the south and built by many of the same speculative builders.
Prospect Heights developed between the older settled neighborhoods (Park Slope, Fort Greene) and the Olmsted-designed Prospect Park. The blocks closest to the park were built first, in the 1870s, with the rest filling in through the 1890s. The architecture is similar to Park Slope's but generally on slightly smaller lots and with less elaborate carved detail.
Notable streets: Vanderbilt Avenue, Park Place, Sterling Place, Prospect Place, St. Marks Avenue.
Prospect Heights properties near the Atlantic Yards/Barclays Center area have been affected by recent large-scale construction next door — vibration, dewatering, and dust have caused unusual stress on adjacent older masonry. Restoration projects in this area sometimes require monitoring during construction next door.
