Today: Free Talk on Bed-Stuy Architecture

Bedford Stuyvesant is known the world over for its rich architectural history.

However, although the neighborhood has one of the largest inventories of Victorian architecture in the country, many of Bedford Stuyvesant’s great buildings are now gone and pretty much forgotten. 

“We do face a serious treat of losing more of our beautiful buildings and the neighborhood changing it character forever,” said Morgan Munsey, architectural historian and Bed-Stuy resident. “Just take a look at the buildings in the photo gallery that we no longer have with us today.”

Tonight, Munsey and Suzanne Spellen, architectural historian and a board member of Crown Heights North, a landmarking organization in Crown Heights, together will host a free talk on Bedford Stuyvesant’s architecture tonight, Monday, November 6, at 6:00pm on the architectural history of Bedford Stuyvesant.

The event will take place at The Neighborhood Preservation Center, 232 East 11th Street in Manhattan. This event and others like it are free and open to the public, but reservations are required. To RSVP for this event any and/or all talks, please call 212-614-9107 ext. 10 or e-mail sromanoski@hdc.org.
