Interested? Then let us give you a little , background about the place you can visit to find out everything you want to know about owning a Brownstone. In response to the growing back-to-the- city movement that began several years ago, community leaders requested Brooklyn Union to provide a facility where people could obtain information they needed about owning and renovating a Brownstone residence. Hence, the Brownstone Information Center, as part of our 10-year- old Cinderella restoration program that has been spurring the rebirth of Brooklyn, was born in 1975. Itself a restored Brownstone, the center is staffed by community members knowledgeable about current Brownstone availabilities. As a non-profit service, they provide information regarding where and what to look for, how to arrange financing, remodeling techniques, and the positive advantages that make a Brownstone home so conducive to gracious living. So, even if you're just thinking about buying a Brownstone, visit the center for an insight into a rewarding way of life. Start by calling for an appointment today.
