    The Invention of Brownstone Brooklyn Suleiman Osman Reviewed By

    67 the true subject is not the place, but the characters that give it life. In teasing out the attitudes, convictions, and values of the gentrifiers, or “brownstoners,” and the many times contradictory impulses that drove them to recreate and “reimagine” a forgotten urban landscape, Osman creates a truly memorable and powerful piece of scholarship. By the end of World War II, the area known as South Brooklyn was a “polycultural, polycentric and polyhistorical cityscape.” Disgusted with the sterility of suburbia and desperate for diversity and “authenticity,” young, highly educated professionals began moving to Brooklyn’s oldest, but now largely depressed, residential district, Brooklyn Heights. A neighborhood ravaged by the flight of wealthy residents to the nascent suburbs in the early 20th century, Brooklyn Heights’ once majestic brownstones were in severe disrepair. While the rehabilitation of these structures and the revitalizing of their urban environment were the most visible elements of this new “brownstoning” movement, its heart and soul was a “do-it-yourself”, counterculture ideology that would have a profound impact on the social, political, and physical environment of the American city. Osman argues that many of these “brownstoners” imagined themselves as urban pioneers building settlements in the wilderness”—out to reclaim, rediscover, and rehabilitate an urban environment lost to decades of decay. Brooklyn Heights quickly became the “birthplace of a new romantic urban ideal”, a jarring juxtaposition to the “dominant modernist ideology of the 1950s.” With Daniel Widis is a first-year DCRP student specializing in Brooklyn Heights providing both the ideological and Placemaking and Real Estate Development.
