Unfortunately, this year’s house tour lineup does not include Brooklyn Heights. The Brooklyn Heights Association recently discontinued its event, citing homeowners’ concerns over privacy in the age of Twitter and Instagram.
If you know of a tour not included here, let us know in the comments and we’ll add it to the list. We’ll share more about what the tours will include and how to attend as we get more details.

Thanks. My neighbors never mentioned that and one of them was active in persuading the older owners to support landmarking. I don’t remember the BBC but I do remember the Brownstone Revival Committee. I got a listing of trades people from them and a regular newsletter for a few years.
Bob you’ve mentioned before that you remember house tours in Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens. I’ve been in Carroll Gardens since 1983 and there has not been a house tour since then. Around that time I went to a walking tour of Park Slope with an architectural historian and he told me that there were no house tours and he did not even do walking tours of CG or CH because homeowners were suspicious of anyone who didn’t live there. Can you remember any details?
