The site at 164 Hancock Street is one of two adjacent parcels being redeveloped by 164 Hancock Development LLC. Together, the pair of similar looking 50-foot-tall brick and brownstone buildings will occupy what was once the private garden of 168 Hancock Street, a grand 1880s Neo-Grec townhouse with a mansard roof and side bays. The developer purchased the landmarked property and its large garden in 2021 for $4.55 million, later dividing it into separate tax lots, city records show.

Carroll has overseen the designation of nine historic districts and nine individual landmarks in Brooklyn, including the first historic district in Bushwick and several significant sites.

In both districts, historic streetscapes of freestanding houses continue to appear much as they did in the early 20th century.
