Community Board Six’s Landmarks Committee will consider the second extension of the Park Slope Historic District Thursday. The LPC has already calendared the extension, known as Park Slope Historic District Extension II, which is about half the size of the recent South Slope extension and includes about 287 buildings. The original Park Slope Historic District was landmarked in 1973 and then extended again in April 2012.

The proposed district would extend landmarking further west toward 5th Avenue and as far south as Union Street (above, 6th Avenue between Union Street and Berkeley Place.) The area comprises a wide variety of architectural styles, including Queen Anne buildings by Montrose Morris and C.P.H. Gilbert. The Land Use and Landmarks Committee meeting will take place at the Cobble Hill Community Meeting Room, 250 Baltic Street between Court and Clinton Streets.
