Lefferts Gardens

Jane's Walk 

Saturday May 7, 2016

Robert Marvin, a 30+ year resident of Lefferts Garden showed us his neighborhood

Ed, Bob's friend shows us his house across from Prospect Park, part of the Ocean Park Historic district.

Lefferts Gardens has had a single family covenant that has restricted residency of  any single family home to well- a single family.  That has preserved the single family structures through a city that is constantly morphing.

Block after block of these attached town line the streets.

Town homes in front- large old apartments in back.  The new luxury buildings are creeping in where the landmarking doesn't prohibit them.

A chained Statue of Liberty next to a pig,  Political statement?  Our tour mates thought so.
