Suzanne's Crown Heights

For the next three days, we’ll be running a series of photos that give one woman’s take on the architecturally distinguished neighborhood of Crown Heights. We’ll finish off the week with a couple of days of our own Crown Heights picks. Please enjoy, discuss and be respectful.
Welcome to Crown Heights North. The entire neighborhood of Crown Heights is huge, and runs from the area east of Washington Ave, with Atlantic Ave. on the north, Empire Boulevard on the south and East New York Avenue on the east. Our borders are with Bed Stuy, Prospect Heights, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Flatbush and East New York. I live in Crown Heights North, roughly between Atlantic Ave, Kingston Ave, Eastern Parkway, and Rogers Ave, most of which will soon to be largest historic district in the city. Crown Heights North was once one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Brooklyn, and the architecture of the homes, churches and apartment buildings rivals Clinton Hill, Park Slope, and Brooklyn Heights. We have wonderful rows of brownstones, limestones and brick houses, stand alone mansions, and magnificent churches. Many of the finest homes center around Brower Park, and that is where our photo tour begins…
