Dean Street was a New York City Subway station on the BMT Franklin Avenue Line. Located on Dean Street west of Franklin Avenue in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, it was serviced by the Franklin Avenue Shuttle. The Dean Street station had the unusual distinction of being opened and closed twice in its history (along with the South Ferry loop station), though the line it served continues in operation.

Kol Israel Synagogue
Kol Israel Synagogue

Congregation Kol Israel is a historic Modern Orthodox synagogue at 603 St. John's Place in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. It was built in 1928 and is a vernacular "tenement synagogue." It is a small, two story rectangular building faced in random laid fieldstone. It was designed by Brooklyn architect Tobias Goldstone. The western side of its midblock lot overlooks the open cut of the Franklin Avenue Line of the New York City Subway.It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.In 2015, "after several failed attempts to bring in new members," the board hired Rabbi Sam Reinstein to "transform his ailing Modern Orthodox synagogue into a place young people consider cool." In addition to adding monthly art shows and after-parties to its programming, the synagogue in 2016 hosted "the first Jewish Comic Con," which featured comics artists Isaac Goodheart of Postal (comics) and Jordan B. Gorfinkel.In June 2016, an eruv built to benefit the Kol Israel congregation "increased sixfold the area in which observant Jews can carry items, and, most importantly, push strollers during Shabbat," but was opposed by Hasidic Chabad neighbors who believed the neighborhood was geographically and halakhically impossible to enclose in an eruv. Chabad's Crown Heights beth din rabbinical court issued a ruling rejecting the eruv as a "devastation of the Shabbat." A few months after the eruv was repeatedly vandalized and its organizers allegedly harassed, two Chabad members were arrested and charged with criminal mischief, although the New York City Police Department had previously said that they would be charged with criminal mischief as a hate crime and criminal tampering.

Park Place Historic District (Brooklyn)
Park Place Historic District (Brooklyn)

The Park Place Historic District is a small historic district located on Park Place between Bedford and Franklin Avenues in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. It consists of 13 row houses from #651 to the east to #675 to the west, which were built in 1899-90 and designed by J. Mason Kirby in a combination of the Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival styles. Kirby, a former Philadelphian who had previous designed Lucy the Elephant in Margate, New Jersey and a 122-foot-high elephant in Coney Island, which was destroyed by fire in 1896, designed the row houses on Park Place for Frederick W. and Walter S. Hammett, two brothers from Philadelphia; the land had previously been partially owned by their father, Barnabas Hammett, a Pennsylvania coal industry pioneer.Although all the houses were originally single-family residences, during the Depression many owners took in boarders, and by the beginning of the 1960s some of the houses had been converted into multiple-family dwellings.The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the row a historic district on June 26, 2012. According to the designation report, The houses are of three types, arranged in a symmetrical configuration, and feature brick facades with rough-faced brownstone trim. Six of the houses have flat roofs with elaborate cornices, while the others have pitched roofs pierced by triangular and round, Jacobean style gables. Imbuing the row with a picturesque, varying roofline, Kirby united the houses with corbelled brick colonettes decorated with sunflower plaques. The houses feature large round-arch-headed openings that are characteristic of the Romanesque Revival style, as well as richly decorated and textured facades featuring terra-cotta sills decorated with rosettes, corbelled brick sills with sawtooth and beaded moldings and scalloped edges, triangular panels filled with terra-cotta strapwork, and patterned bricks ornamented with projecting knobs that give the row a romantic quality typical of the Queen Anne style.
