189 Hancock Street
Built in 1886, this Neo-Grec brownstone was designed by Isaac Delamater Reynolds, the prolific Brooklyn architect responsible for more Neo-Grec houses in Bedford than any other neighborhood. It belongs to a Reynolds row a few doors down from its near-twin at 195 Hancock, all faced in brownstone with the linear, incised ornament that defines the style. Inside, the four-story two-family retains six mantels, parquet floors, ornate plaster relief and a pier mirror in the front parlor, with original pass-through cabinetry and a claw-foot tub above.
The block sits in the Bedford Historic District, Bed-Stuy's third landmarked district, a stretch of the borough's most ambitious 19th-century houses built in the boom that followed the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1883.
