Greenpoint Historic District
Greenpoint Historic District, Historic district in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, US.
The district includes 363 commercial and residential buildings constructed between 1850 and 1900, spanning 43 acres along Kent, Calyer, Noble, and Franklin Streets.
The area transformed from farmland into a prosperous industrial center when Neziah Bliss and Eliphalet Nott began acquiring land and establishing streets in 1832.
The architectural styles within the district represent late Victorian trends, including Italianate, Greek Revival, French Second Empire, neo-Grec, and Queen Anne designs.
Multiple buildings in the district maintain their original features and architectural elements, making it valuable for studying 19th-century construction techniques.
The district contains the former Eberhard Faber Pencil Factory, six churches, and two banks that reflect the industrial and commercial growth of 19th-century Brooklyn.
