Cobble Hill Historic District

The Cobble Hill Historic District contains 796 residential buildings constructed between 1830 and 1920, displaying Greek Revival and Renaissance Revival architectural elements.

The area served as a fortified position during the American War of Independence and was later reinforced for military purposes during the War of 1812.

The district includes multiple 19th-century religious structures, such as Christ Church designed by Richard Upjohn and Strong Place Baptist Church by Minard Lafever.

The district spans 60 acres between Atlantic Avenue, Court Street, Degraw Street, and Hicks Street, with access from the Bergen Street subway station.

Philanthropist Alfred Tredway White established low-cost housing projects in the neighborhood during the late 19th century, when property values matched Brooklyn Heights.
