The Brownstone Bible is back and brand-new! Charles Lockwood’s seminal 1972 classic, Bricks and Brownstone, helped kick off New York’s brownstone revival, and energized the city’s preservation movement.

The newly revised and expanded edition includes updated text, additional chapters, and specially commissioned photography. In conjunction with The Historic House Trust and the New York Preservation Archive Project, we invite you to join us in The Parks Department’s Arsenal Gallery, where preservationist, and coauthor of the new edition, Patrick W. Ciccone will offer an illustrated look at how bricks and brownstone transformed New York the streetscape and became synonymous with the city!
