1450 Pacific is a rare historic gem, recently recognized by the National Registry of Historic Places. Built in 1882, it is today among the few surviving freestanding houses in the Crown Heights North Historic District. It is an excellent example of a suburban home constructed during the period in which residential development in the area increased in anticipation of the 1883 opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. The building’s dramatic Italianate-style cornice, ornamental wood porch, neo-Grec-style lintels and bay windows make it a memorable icon in the neighborhood’s architecture.  The house has recently been masterfully restored to its original glory by Amber Mazor and [nc2 Architecture](https://www.nc2architecture.com/), the same crew that won the Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award in 2019 for restoring the nearby Elkins House. Following an intensive approval process with the Landmarks Preservation Commission, several alterations were allowed to increase the living area of the building from a two-story to a four-story house without compromising the original character of the building. This involved altering the attic and basement to create fully livable floors. The project also makes extensive re-use of reclaimed materials such as floors, moldings, doors, studs, brick, and rocks. **Saturday Programming:** The architect and contractor will be on-site to discuss the design and construction process.
