Park Slope Historic District is a national historic district in Park Slope, Brooklyn, New York, New York. It consists of 1,802 contributing buildings built between 1862 and about 1920. The 40-block district is almost exclusively residential and located adjacent to Prospect Park. It includes a variety of two and three story townhouses built in a variety of popular architectural styles of the late-19th and early 20th centuries.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
The national historic district is overlaid by another district, designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1973.[3] The city district was expanded in 2012 to cover 2,575 buildings stretching over part or all of around 40 city blocks,[4] and again to the north in 2016.[5] The historic district is New York's largest landmarked neighborhood in terms of the number of buildings.[6]
