If you want to increase your knowledge of Park Slope history, then try a walking tour coming up tomorrow (8/4) called Park Slope: Beyond Brownstone. It’s described by its sponsors, the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment, as follows:

Most of Park Slope developed after “Brownstone Brooklyn” and was built for the borough’s elite at the turn of the 20th century. Matt Postal will lead a tour that focuses on many of the neighborhood’s most interesting and memorable mansions. In particular, those mansions designed by local architects, including works in the Queen Anne, Romanesque and neo-Georgian styles. 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Fee: $10 for BCUE members, $13 nonmembers. Meet in front of St. Augustine’s Church, Sixth Ave. near Sterling Place. (718) 788-8500.

You can find the entire BCUE tour schedule here. Meanwhile, we’ll have info about another BCUE tour tomorrow.
