| From the 1880’s to the 1920’s, areas of
Flatbush were transformed from rural farmlands to fashionable suburbs. This area is currently known as Victorian Flatbush and has oneof the nation's largest concentrations of Victorian homes. Many of the original houses still stand, surviving shifts in the residents and the popularity of the neighborhood. |

| After World War II, real estate buyers
forged a resurging interest in Victorian homes.The brownstone movement of the 1960’s influenced many people to restore older houses all over Brooklyn. Population changes in the 1980’s diversified the neighborhood. Large groups of Caribbean, Asian and Latino immigrants moved in and brought with them a more varied cultural environment.
