The Park Slope Civic Council works to nurtures, defends, celebrates, and invigorates the community of Park Slope, a neighborhood in Brooklyn New York. Since the 1950’s, the organization has worked to protect it’s neighborhood from changes that would take away the historical characteristics that make up the area. Listed as a New York City Landmark in 1973, Park Slope is Brooklyn’s largest historic district. The Council is now undertaking efforts to enlarge the district to include areas that have historically been part seen as part of Park Slope, but were left out of the original district. The new district would enlarge the district from 1,975 buildings to approximately 7,000 structures. The Trust is offering financial support, as well as the time of their staff Architectural Historians. It is hoped that the research and survey work completed will expand the Park Slope Historic District into the largest district in the City.
