Albemarle-Kenmore Terraces Historic District

The district contains 32 houses and one apartment building arranged along two cul-de-sacs, featuring red brick facades with limestone ornaments and painted wood trim.

The neighborhood developed between 1916 and 1920 during Brooklyn's suburban expansion, representing the architectural evolution of New York row house design in the early 20th century.

The houses reflect the social changes of the 1920s with their garden-focused layouts and integrated garages, accommodating the rise of automobile ownership among middle-class families.

The Church Avenue subway station serves the district with B and Q trains, while multiple bus routes connect visitors to other parts of Brooklyn.

Each residence on Albemarle Terrace sits elevated above street level with front gardens lined by mature Pin Oak trees, creating distinct viewing perspectives.
