Bay Ridge Walking Tour
October 20, 2012 |
Bay Ridge’s richly varied architecture, made up of vibrant commercial districts, attractive rowhouse blocks, historic wood frame farmhouses, Victorian mansions, magnificent places of worship, pre-war apartment buildings and quaint cul-de-sacs, tell a fascinating story of the neighborhood’s development. To ensure that Bay Ridge retains its rich sense of place, local activists are working to nominate some of the neighborhood’s architectural and cultural gems on the State and National Registers of Historic Places and formulate proposals for landmark designations. Join us on Saturday, October 20, as Victoria Hofmo, founder of the Bay Ridge Conservancy, leads a tour focusing on some of the neighborhood’s preservation priorities, including stops at Christ Church, Public School 102, “Doctor’s Row,” and the brownstone block on Senator Street. The tour will conclude with an informal reception at the Telecommunications High School to continue the discussion about recent preservation efforts.
