Brownstoner’s own award-winning columnist Suzanne Spellen will be leading a tour of Crown Heights on Saturday, May 9. Spellen, who writes as Montrose Morris, and preservationist and real estate agent Morgan Munsey, will guide participants through the northeastern portion of the neighborhood, including many blocks in the recently designated Crown Heights North III Historic District.
The area is home to late 19th and early 20th century row houses, historic churches and the oldest standing house in Crown Heights North. The pair will also take participants to see the historic Kinko Houses and two “Superblocks” — attempts at urban renewal designed by I.M. Pei. Above is pictured the First Church of God in Christ, located at 221 Kingston Avenue.
The tour takes place Saturday, May 9 at 11 am. It’s $15 for Municipal Art Society members, $20 for non-members. Tickets can be purchased here.
