A walking tour of the "Pigtown" neighborhood, created by Rocco Cetera for #JanesWalkNYC.

Empire Boulevard, south side, west from Lamont Court to Brooklyn Ave, 1929. Though difficult to see in this faded photograph, all of the buildings visible here remain today. The three wood-frame single story homes seen mid block (the middle one is slightly more raised then the others) remain with new facades of brick or siding. The taller building in the middle and its neighbor to the west both still have what looks to be their original cornices.

1237-1297 Carroll Street Designed by John Wandell 1913 The mixture of Renaissance Revival and Colonial Revival style details in these alternating bow- and flat-front houses is unique to Crown Heights South. To visually link these different stylistic elements, which were not typically found side-by-side or on the same structure, architect John Wandell designed some of them to have a common cornice line and a molded belt course over the first floor. Unlike earlier rowhouses, many of the houses have English style stoops, which rise to only a few steps above street level, rather than the classic high stoops of the late 19th century.
