Preview243 Bergen Street
Brooklyn · built 1859
This three-unit multifamily walk-up at 243 Bergen Street stands in a section of Brooklyn known for its late 19th-century development. City property records date the building to 1859, placing it among the earlier structures to emerge as the Park Slope and Boerum Hill areas grew into residential neighborhoods.
Located on block 196, lot 40, the property contributes to the historic character of these brownstone Brooklyn blocks. Its design as a walk-up with three residential units reflects a common housing type that helped accommodate the borough's expanding population during that era.
