Bedford-Stuyvesant’s built character is best understood block by block. A particularly well-documented example is the Willoughby-Hart Historic District, a designated area on Willoughby Avenue and Hart Street between Nostrand and Marcy Avenues. The Landmarks Preservation Commission describes these two blocks as a late-19th-century row-house district developed as this part of Brooklyn shifted from farmland toward dense residential construction. Its houses were built over a period beginning in 1871, in a setting shaped by expanding streetcar service and the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge. Those details describe this historic district, rather than every part of Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The district’s brownstone façades are mainly Neo-Grec, with examples of Second Empire houses marked by mansard roofs and Queen Anne or Romanesque Revival designs on Hart Street. The commission describes a street-level rhythm formed by stone stoops, projecting door hoods, window frames and cornice lines. Most houses began at two and a half stories, with some at three; some shorter houses later gained another level. The report also identifies wood cornices on many original houses. These details make the designated blocks useful for understanding how architectural styles and building forms vary within the larger neighborhood. The district is a specific preserved example, not a claim that all local housing has the same age, material or design.
Another distinct local landmark is Restoration Plaza, on Fulton Street between New York and Brooklyn Avenues. Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation was established in 1967. The organization purchased the former Sheffield Farms milk bottling plant the following year for its headquarters, and the rehabilitated plaza was completed in 1972. Restoration describes the site as a 300,000-square-foot commercial plaza that includes its headquarters, the Billie Holiday Theatre, Skylight Gallery, and local businesses and nonprofit organizations. The organization’s current description also identifies indoor and outdoor event areas and lists concerts, film screenings, farmers’ markets and job fairs among events held there. Together, these examples show two different parts of the neighborhood’s physical story: preserved residential rows and an industrial property reused for arts, services and commerce.
