Brownstoner’s Top 15 Instagram Photos of 2020

While Brooklynites stuck close to home this year they still captured the architecture of their neighborhoods on Instagram, with views of blooming gardens, charming carriage houses and atmospheric streets providing a visual distraction to the events of 2020.

A colorful stretch of Joralemon Street is an always popular view but the wood frame houses of Clinton Hill proved particularly enticing this year. Take a look through the slideshow to see the top images from our @brownstoner feed, and don’t forget to tag your own photos with #brownstoner so we can check them out.
