• These magnificent creations of the 19th century's master builders have new life.And new value. Handcarved mahogany woodwork is shining. Ornamental plaster is back in place. Thousands of families are creating a dynamic new urban life style in historic Brooklyn neighborhoods.With help from the Brooklyn Union and community sponsored Cinderella programs, the splendor of Brooklyn's brownstones is being restored. Once again, Brooklyn is definitely the place to buy a brownstone. And Brooklyn Union's Brownstone Information Center is definitely the place to call to learn what Brownstone living is all about.
