The Landmarks Preservation Commission unanimously voted to designate a two-block segment of Bed-Stuy, including Willoughby Avenue and Hart Street, as Brooklyn's newest historic district with nearly 50 historic brownstones from the late 1800s.
The push for landmark designation followed the demolition of the Jacob Dangler mansion, prompting residents to rally for preservation efforts after witnessing the loss of a neighborhood icon.
