Park Slope is often called a brownstone neighborhood, which is a misnomer.There are brownstones and brownstone streets, to be sure, but the visitor takes away an image composed in equal parts of 1880s Romanesque and of the Beaux Arts classicism of the 1890s and later. As to the latter, many people think only of grand productions like Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza with its Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Arch. Yet Beaux Arts scenic effects were often inserted into neighborhoods in a more intimate or, at least, less grand manner, and in such a way as to lend a note of monumentality into the more quotidian parts of the city.
