Bay Ridge block seeks special status from city
‘Doctor’s Row’ boasts limestone row houses
A tree-lined Bay Ridge block that boasts beautiful limestone row houses built in the early 20th century would be granted special status by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission if a proposal being put forth by the block association succeeds.
The Bay Ridge Parkway 400 Block Association is seeking to have the street designated as a Historic District by the commission.
The proposal covers Bay Ridge Parkway, also known as 75th Street, between Fourth and Fifth avenues, a block that many local residents refer to as “Doctor’s Row” due to the large number of doctor’s offices located there.
