LPC to Look at Prospect Heights Historic District
From a Brooklyn Daily Eagle article about recent progress in the effort to secure landmark status for a large portion of Prospect Heights:
The MAS [Municipal Art Society], PHNDC [Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council] and the hundreds of residents who have written letters to the commission believe that the neighborhood’s rich historic architecture — with blocks of beautiful Italianate and neo-Grec rowhouses, interspersed with churches, small commercial and apartment buildings — is threatened by the Atlantic Yards project, a proposal by the developer Forest City Ratner to build 16 towers and a sports arena on a 22-acre site adjacent to the neighborhood.
