Building: 187 Hicks Street

187 Hicks Street, at the corner of Hicks and Pierrepont Streets in Brooklyn Heights, was built in 1901 as the Florence Court Apartment Hotel. Designed by Frank S. Lowe in the French Renaissance Revival style, it replaced the historic McLean mansion and was commissioned by prominent builder Louis F. Pease.

The building later transitioned into a pre-war cooperative residence, now offering 29 two- and three-bedroom units across seven floors. Residents enjoy charming details like hardwood floors and crown moldings, alongside modern amenities such as a part-time doorman, live-in superintendent, common laundry facilities, bike storage, and basement storage, all in a pet-friendly setting.

Ideally situated in Brooklyn Heights, 187 Hicks Street provides easy access to Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Promenade, and a variety of shops and dining. Conveniently located near subway lines (A, C, R, 2, 3, 4, and 5), Florence Court combines timeless pre-war charm with contemporary sophistication, making it a standout residence in this historic neighborhood.
