Curbed (which has really been upping its Brooklyn-related posts, hasn’t it?) ran this map yesterday prepared by the folks at Property Shark. The big take-away? “It’s striking to see that Bed-Stuy has a much larger and denser collection of pre-1900 buildings than anywhere else in NYC,” notes the Shark.”Even larger than Park Slope, Harlem, or the West Village.” The post goes on to lament how little of the historic nabe is landmarked. Sad indeed, especially given some of the ugly-ass crap that’s been erected there in recent years. Let’s hope the upscale condo developments are finished with a modicum of taste.
