At the heart of historic Brooklyn Heights, 182 Clinton Street has witnessed a rich tapestry of history and innovation since the mid-19th century. Originally owned by Dr. Isaac Wood, the property, along with its neighboring homes, attracted a long line of medical practitioners. Together, these houses earned the moniker “Doctor’s Row.” Subsequent occupants included the Kellogg family and Bill and Lois Wilson, who founded Alcoholics Anonymous at the house in 1934. Over the years, 182 Clinton became a hub for cultural endeavors: it housed the Penny Bridge Opera Company, fostered music education under Emanuel Levinson, and was briefly owned by noted art collector and Metropolitan Museum trustee Patti Garnell Birch.
Proceeds from the showhouse support the Brooklyn Heights Association. Founded in 1910, the BHA’s advocacy has been critical to preserving Brooklyn Heights’ remarkable architecture. The association was instrumental in the establishment of Brooklyn Heights as New York City’s first historic district, the construction of the iconic Brooklyn Heights Promenade, and the preservation of the nearby waterfront for what is now Brooklyn Bridge Park. Today, the BHA continues to maintain and improve the quality of life for all who live, visit, and work in the neighborhood.
