Public School 9 and Public School 9 Annex, Historic school building in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, United States

The complex consists of two educational buildings at 227 and 279 Sterling Place, featuring Romanesque Revival architecture with brick construction and gabled sections.

The original Public School 9 building, designed by Samuel B. Leonard, opened in 1868, while the annex was added in 1895 by architect James W. Naughton.

The structures reflect the late 19th-century educational expansion in Brooklyn, incorporating Renaissance Revival details and demonstrating period-specific architectural preferences.

Both buildings were converted into residential units, with the annex now containing 22 cooperative apartments featuring high ceilings and large windows.

The complex earned dual recognition on the National Register of Historic Places and as New York City Landmarks, preserving its architectural legacy.

Location: Brooklyn

Inception: 1867
