Behold the map of the proposed extension of the Clinton Hill Historic District. (Click on the map for a larger version.) The biggest news, at first glance, is the expansion south of Fulton to include the two long blocks of Lefferts Place. Lots of other goodies in there too. The only thing on our wish list would be the row of buildings on the north side of Fulton between Clinton and Waverly (photo on the jump.)
You’re welcome. I only know because I live there and have a copy of the old historic register report describing the houses, builders, dates etc. Interesting stuff if your into that.

Thanks for the information. I’ve always had questions about certain thing around that area and I appreciate you filling me in.
Dahlia, have a look at the map, that part of Washington is covered, including the cathedral condos.
Whose map is this? Is it a local group’s proposal or from LPC?
i may be biased, but the rest of washington between fulton and atlantic would be nice. you could leave out the used car lot and the new development, but brownstones and cathedral condos on the corner of washington and atlantic are pretty “historic”
Why not extend the boundary to include Gates up to Classon?
Whoops, sorry, I just took a closer look at the map, and the aforementioned Grand Ave. brownstones are included.
There are a bunch of really beautiful brownstones on the west side of Grand Ave. between Greene and Gates that are not included. I wonder why. In the middle of the block there are a few narrower brownstones, one of which was covered in blue vinyl siding last year. And the building at 309 that was torn down a couple of months ago was a loss.
wallabout will be a separate historic district and i think it might be up before this one.
