About the building
168 Washington Park is a five-home cooperative directly across from Fort Greene Park. Thomas B. Jackson designed and built the brownstone around 1869–70, using French Second Empire forms with neo-Grec detailing. Its protected street frontage includes brownstone masonry and slate, within the Fort Greene Historic District.
The apartments include floor-through layouts with park-facing living rooms and rear bedrooms overlooking gardens. Period details survive in some homes, including decorative mantels, patterned wood floors and moldings. Lower-floor accommodation includes garden access, while upper homes are reached by the shared stair. Laundry and private storage are available within the building.

The retrade record
Lines that have traded more than once in the public record — the building’s appreciation arc, apartment by apartment.
Sales sourced from NYC Department of Finance recorded transfers (BBL 3-02072-0010). Apartment-level facts (line, condition, asking-price context) curated and cross-verified in The Roebling Research Library. Not all transactions cross-verify with ACRIS records — sponsor and LLC purchases sometimes record at stipulated values rather than market price; square footage on co-ops is not officially recorded, figures shown are approximate.

What to know if you’re buying
The protected brownstone and slate exterior is a five-home responsibility. Repairs to the masonry, windows or roof can require LPC approval as well as cooperative consent. A small number of shareholders fund that work, while the park-facing frontage remains central to the building's architectural character.

How to read the facts on this page. Items attributed to an offering plan describe the building as it was offered at that filing — unit mix, square footage, the amenity program as planned. They are not a statement about how the building operates today. Tax and compliance figures are sourced separately to current City records and carry their own dates. House rules, staffing and fee policy can change by board resolution without any public filing: treat every policy line here as a starting point for diligence and confirm it with the managing agent. Where this page compares one building or neighborhood to another, that is our analysis of the recorded record — it names the measure, the period and the sample it rests on, and it is an observation about medians rather than a prediction about any particular apartment.
