BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUSIC
Local architects designed this neighborhood of three- and four-story Italianate row houses between 1885 and 1859. A few rare homes with cast-iron facades were added in the 1870s. In 1908 the Brooklyn Academy of Music, founded in 1861, built its new headquarter designed by Herts & Tallant in the Italian Renaissance Revival style here. The 1929 Williamsburgh Savings Bank with its 512-foot tower is currently the tallest building in Brooklyn. Designated September 26, 1978
