The first draft of the Historic District originally included only the park
blocks. The Slope, emerging as the latest brownstone rediscovery of the
upper middle class, was soon recognized as a precinct containing a rich
fabric of row housing both within and beyond those initial arbitrary
boundaries. The district finally designated reaches northwesterly from the
park blocks to encompass part of the richness of Sixth Avenue between
Berkeley and Sterling Places. And even with the expansion, good and great
architecture thrives on the Slope outside the district lines.
