Park Slope brownstones often have kitchens renovated one floor at a time, with appliances of different ages stacked through the house, so maintenance there keeps a floor-by-floor log and checks each unit's hoses and ducts where they pass through old walls. ## What Park Slope does to a home appliance. Most of Park Slope's brownstones and rowhouses date to the 1880s and 1890s, built after Prospect Park's completion, and the grandest Victorian mansions along Prospect Park West went up in that same two-decade window. The Park Slope Historic District, landmarked by the city in 1973 and added to the National Register in 1980, is New York's largest landmark neighborhood, covering 2,575 buildings across roughly 40 blocks, with southern and northern extensions added in 2012 and 2016. A wave of brownstone renovation in the 1960s and 1970s converted many buildings back from rooming houses into single-family homes, so the plumbing and wiring behind many facades reflects that mid-century renovation rather than the 1880s original. The neighborhood's power comes off the same Con Edison system that serves the rest of Brooklyn.
