Preservationists redouble campaign to landmark Walt Whitman’s Clinton Hill house
Walt Whitman Way’s street sign is unveiled
Preservationists renewed their call for the city to landmark Walt Whitman’s Clinton Hill house during a street co-naming ceremony for the famous poet and former Brooklyn Eagle editor.
“It’s time to designate,” Walt Whitman Initiative board member Brad Vogel told the Eagle on Saturday at the unveiling ceremony for Walt Whitman Way. “Think what would happen 25 years from now if we fail to get it done. Everybody would be kicking themselves.”
The new Clinton Hill street sign stands at the intersection of DeKalb Avenue and Ryerson Street across from Pratt Institute.
