60 Berkeley Pl, Brooklyn, NY 11217

60 Berkeley Place is a landmark-preserved brownstone, as part of the Park Slope Historic District Extention II. Built as one of five similar Neo-Grec style dwellings (56 to 64 Berkeley Place), this house was designed by architect John Magilligan and built in 1881 for owner Mary Magilligan at a time when the western section of Park Slope was rapidly-developing with houses and apartments for Brooklyn’s growing middle class. The house's brownstone stoop, angled bays, incised ornament, decorative main entryway doors, paneled jambs with colonettes, and bracketed cornice with frieze panels are characteristic of the style.
