Be a nosy neighbor – enjoy the Brooklyn
Heights Association’s annual House and Garden Tour.
The self-guided May 10 tour will take you inside five 19th-century
townhouses, including a Victorian brick house with finely carved
marble mantles (pictured), from 1 pm to 5 pm.
General admission tickets are $30 and include the house tour,
refreshments at Plymouth Church (and a tour of the sanctuary),
while $200 patron tickets include a champagne brunch, tour of
an additional house, an early start on the tour and all general
admission perks.
According to BHA Executive Director Judy Stanton, the house tour
proceeds are given back to the community – in the form of grants
to PS 8 and to the Atlantic Avenue Master Plan process this past
year – and also help pay BHA’s operating costs and programs including
tree maintenance.
"We spend $10,000 a year on street tree maintenance,"
said Stanton. "Last year, we used the moneys donated to
water and fertilize the trees, supplementing the work the Parks
Department does."
The tours will be held rain or shine. For more information, call
