For more info and prices check out their website.
The history of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill can now be seen between the pages of a detailed coffee-table book. Presented by the Brooklyn Historical Society and written by Francis Morrone, the 108-page book is the eighth in the Neighborhood and Architectural History Guide series spotlighting the rich history in Brooklyn neighborhoods. The FG/CH version is the most ambitious and detailed book to date, said the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
