A visit to the extraordinary Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse

We want to expose people to the beautiful homes that are in the neighborhood and to the wide variety of ways you can decorate a house, and to bring together people in the community at an event like this," BHA President Jeremy Lechtzin told the Brooklyn Eagle. "Also, to show the depth of decorating talent that is available in Brooklyn and across the city. This year, the Showhouse took over 182 Clinton St., a classic brick Greek Revival townhouse built in the late 1840s."

I really believe that the Showhouse is the full embodiment of what it's like to live in Brooklyn Heights, and we're very lucky to live here," Hamilton told the Eagle. Curating the Showhouse and working with the designers is "very sympathetic with the work of the BHA," she said. The volunteers and staff members "really care about BHA's activism and about the character of the neighborhood."
