The second phase of the Crown Heights North District was approved today by the LPC, and the third phase was calendared. The second phase covers around 600 buildings in the area bounded by Bergen Street and Eastern Parkway to the north and south, and Nostrand and Brooklyn avenues to the west and east. It adjoins the section of the neighborhood where 472 buildings were landmarked in 2007. “The neighborhood is an exquisite mosaic of remarkably well-preserved examples of architectural styles and building types designed by some of Brooklyn’s best-known architects,” said LPC Chairman Robert Tierney. He also applauded the Crown Heights North Association for organizing support for the district and stewardship of the buildings. As Commissioner Frederick Bland declared about the expansion: “It’s just awesome.” Couldn’t say it better ourselves! Up next: 640 buildings in the just-calendared Crown Heights North III Historic District. Check out a map of both districts after the jump.

Congratulations to all the local residents who have been championing this designation for so long.

Fantastic! We were beginning to worry it would never happen so this is wonderful news.
