Building: 960 Sterling Place

960 Sterling Place is a cooperative apartment community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Designed by the renowned architect Jacob W. Sherman, the Colonial Revival-style building was constructed circa 1937. The six-story, 79-unit elevator building has remarkably well-preserved prewar details, including original apartment layouts, spacious rooms, inlaid hardwood floors, and a gracious lobby. In 2011, 960 Sterling Place was designated as part of the Crown Heights North Historic District as part of an ongoing community-based effort to landmark and preserve the architectural character integrity of the neighborhood.

The amenities at 960 Sterling Place include a full-time live-in superintendent, a full-time porter, elevators, natural gas heating, common laundry room, storage lockers, bike storage, and newly constructed common garden designed by Brook Landscape. The building is located steps from the 2/3/4/5 trains at Eastern Parkway and close to local attractions such as the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Brower Park, the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, and Prospect Park.
