  • Clinton Hill is a neighborhood in the north-central portion of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. It is bordered by Boerum Hill, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Prospect Heights, Williamsburg, and Fort Greene. The neighborhood is served by the NYPD's 88th Precinct. 275 Park Avenue in Clinton Hill, a brick building that now houses "Body by Brooklyn," was once a chocolate factory that produced and distributed Tootsie Rolls throughout the United States. In 1996, real estate developer Alex Goldin purchased the chocolate factory and converted it into the first luxury loft apartment rentals in the area. By the 1840s, Clinton Hill, and its sister neighborhood Fort Greene had become fashionable neighborhoods for the wealthy of Brooklyn, who could commute to Manhattan by way of stagecoach to the Fulton Ferry in nearby Brooklyn Heights. By the 1880s and '90s, Clinton Avenue was lined with mansions of millionaires, many of which have survived to the present day. The most prominent of these are linked to Charles Pratt, who built a mansion for himself and one each as wedding presents for three of his four sons (pictured, right). These four mansions can be seen on Clinton Avenue between DeKalb and Willoughby. Pratt Institute, founded by Charles Pratt in 1887, is located a few blocks from his former home. Due in part to the presence of Pratt Institute the neighborhood boasts an increasing arts community, and many bohemians are flocking towards the yet-to-be gentrified industrial areas adjacent to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Clinton Hill has one of the largest concentrations of row houses from the post-Civil War period. Also located in Clinton Hill is St. Joseph's College's Brooklyn campus and St. Mary's Episcopal Church, which was built in 1858. The Clinton Hill Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The district is well known for its abundance of townhouses and brownstones, constructed during or after the Civil War. It's tree-lined streets are similar to both Park Slope and Brooklyn Heights, with its prominent Italianate and Beaux-Arts styles. The Clinton Hill South Historic District was listed in 1986.

Esas cuatro mansiones están localizadas en la avenida Clinton entre DeKalb y Willoughby. El Instituto Pratt, fundado por Charles Pratt en 1887, está ubicado a pocas manzanas de su antigua casa.
