Brooklyn · built 1853
This two-unit home at 188 Dean Street sits on block 195, lot 31, in a charming area of Brooklyn. City property records date its construction to 1853 and describe it as a one- and two-family dwelling.
Located in what is now known as Park Slope and Boerum Hill, this property is part of the historic brownstone blocks that largely developed in the late 1800s. These neighborhoods are well-regarded for their distinctive residential character and tree-lined streets.
