Once occupied by marshy wetlands, the area around 215 Hoyt Street started seeing development after landfill in the early 1800s made it an attractive residential neighborhood. In 1948 the New York City Housing Authority selected the two blocks enclosed by Wyckoff, Hoyt, Douglass, and Bond streets for an affordable apartment complex. Fourteen brick towers between 4 and 13 stories high were erected here, totaling 1,134 apartments. Known as Gowanus Houses, the property features a leafy plaza accentuated by curving iron fences. Part of the Gowanus Houses property was reserved for the Nicholas Naquan Heyward, Jr. Park.
