What is the history of Lincoln Place in Crown Heights?

Lincoln Place has a distinctive history connected to the development of Crown Heights and the planning of Eastern Parkway.

Originally known as Degraw Street, Lincoln Place was included in the broader residential planning vision developed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux during the 19th century.

Their original plan proposed narrowing portions of Lincoln Place east of New York Avenue and using them as service streets for private stables, carriage houses, and greenhouses serving larger residences along Eastern Parkway.

Although the proposed restrictions were eventually abandoned and Lincoln Place remained a residential street, portions of its narrower layout were preserved.

The section between New York Avenue and Brooklyn Avenue measures approximately 53 feet in width, while portions farther east reflect the narrower dimensions originally envisioned.

Lincoln Place also became an important location for residential development during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Historic two-family residences along Lincoln Place include rows designed by architect Frederick L. Hine, particularly the houses at 811–833 Lincoln Place, which feature Romanesque Revival and Renaissance Revival architectural influences.

Other notable historic residences include rows along the 800 and 900 blocks of Lincoln Place, where architects such as Axel S. Hedman designed two-family houses with decorative bays and classical ornamentation.

Portions of Lincoln Place are located within the Crown Heights North Historic Districts, designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.
