How did Park Slope get its original landmark designation?
The current Park Slope Historic District was approved in July 1973 after years of dedicated effort by community activists involved with the Park Slope Civic Council. They saw andmarking as a way to change perceptions of Park Slope, which was then suffering from decline and disinvestment. These enlightened individuals organized research into the history of buildings within the community, thus documenting the rationale for designation. The LPC subsequently used this research in its designation report. Ironically, the resurgence and revitalization of New York City’s urban neighborhoods has led to development pressures that now threaten the integrity of blocks within Park Slope that were left out of the original historic district. To maintain the cohesive character of the entire neighborhood, the Park Slope Civic Council is working to finish the job begun by these earlier community leaders.
