Become a Part of Heights History

Send in YOUR Historic Photos & Materials

As part of the BHA's Celebrating a Century celebration, historian Francis Morrone is fast on his way to completing a building-by-building description that completes Clay Lancaster’s pre-Civil war building survey “Old Brooklyn Heights.” The BHA's project covers all of the post-Civil War era buildings in the Heights that are not in the Lancaster book. While much of the research is complete, there’s no such thing as too much history!

An 'OPEN CALL' for YOUR Photos and Materials!
Submit no later than Friday, July 30th!

 

 

We are holding an “open call” for any historic photographs (of exterior facades), old press clippings, personal histories or other archival documentation you might have in your attic, basement or scrapbook related to a specific house or building’s history.

Email us a copy, scanned image, print or simply write us a letter. Email it to: info@thebha.org or mail to the Brooklyn Heights Association, 55 Pierrepont Street, Box 17 D, Brooklyn, NY 11201. Whatever you have will help document our neighborhood history as well as mark the Association’s 100th birthday. Just get it to us by July 2nd for consideration.
