On weekends, I love walking through the historic neighborhood and admiring the ornate stoops and tall windows of the brownstones.

The brownstoned row houses gave the street a warm, historic charm.

They restored the facade using reclaimed brownstone to match the original architect's intent.

Last weekend, brownstoners from several blocks organized a walking tour to showcase the neighborhood's restored facades.

As a brownstoner, Maria volunteered each weekend to help restore the building's stoop.
