69 Orange je pomnoženo sačuvano od strane trenutnih vlasnika i sadrži sve izvorne karakteristike, kao što su ograde, drvenarija, hardver, kalupljenje i historijska mliječna boja. Izgrađena 1829. godine, ova kuća je izgrađena u federalnom stilu drvenih dasaka i obiluje viktorijanskim dodacima poput mansardnog krova s detaljima u stilu 'gingerbread'.

Prvobitno, ova nekretnina je pripadala Sari Gracie, kćeri Marthe Middagh-Van Nostrand, koja je nazvala Brooklyn Heights "Voćnim ulicama". Obitelji Gracie i Middagh bile su poznate u ranim godinama tržišta luksuznih nekretnina u New Yorku, što dokazuje Graciejeva palača na Upper East Sideu, koja je sada dom gradonačelnika New Yorka.

Ulica 69 Orange se nalazi direktno pored ikonične Plymouth crkve, koja ima dugu povijest s pokretom za ukidanje ropstva u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama. Prvi propovjednik u Plymouth crkvi, Henry Ward Beecher, bio je istaknuti i poznati protivnik ropstva koji se posvetio uzroku slobode. Čak je i Beecherova sestra, Harriet Beecher Stowe, bila posvećena, jer je bila autorica američkog klasika i antislavnog romana, Kuća Toma B rente. Slava Henryja Warda Beechera privukla je tisuće posjetitelja crkvi, uključujući Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Abrahama Lincolna i Marka Twaina, koji su prolazili pored ulice 69 Orange na putu ka crkvi. Plymouth crkva bila je dobro poznato središte Podzemne željeznice, a legenda kaže da su ljudi koji su bježali od ropstva primani i pružana im je utočište na 69 Orange Street, jer je jedan od vlasnika kuće, Henry L. Pratt, bio đakon Plymouth crkve tijekom Beecherovih godina.

Brooklyn Heights je savršen balans uzbudljivog, brze gradskog života i udobnog suburbanog opuštanja. Ulica 69 Orange se nalazi blizu Cadman Plaze i Whitman Parka, kao i mnogih odličnih restorana i trgovina, te podzemne stanice Brooklyn Bridge i Clark Street.

69 Orange has been meticulously preserved by the current owners and contains all original features, such as handrails, woodworking, hardware, molding, and historical milk paint. Built in 1829, this house was built in the Federal clapboard style and features Victorian add-ons such as the mansard roof with gingerbread details.

Originally, this property was owned by Sarah Gracie, daughter of Martha Middagh-Van Nostrand, who named the Brooklyn Heights "Fruit Streets". The Gracie and Middagh families were well-known in the early years of the New York City luxury real estate market, as evidenced by the Gracie mansion on the Upper East Side, which is now home to the New York City Mayor.

69 Orange Street is situated directly next to the iconic Plymouth Church, which has a long history with the abolitionist movement in the United States. The first preacher at Plymouth church, Henry Ward Beecher, was a prominent and well-known abolitionist who dedicated himself to the cause of freedom. Even Beecher's sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, was committed, as she was the author of the American Classic and anti-slavery book, Uncle Tom's Cabin. Henry Ward Beecher's fame attracted thousands to visit the church, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Abraham Lincoln, and Mark Twain, who walked past 69 Orange Street on their way to the church. Plymouth church was a well-known hub of the Underground Railroad, and legend has it that enslaved people making the journey were taken in and given sanctuary at 69 Orange Street, as one of the house's owners, Henry L. Pratt was the deacon of Plymouth Church during the Beecher years.

Brooklyn Heights is the perfect balance of exciting, fast-paced city life and comfortable suburban relaxation. 69 Orange Street is close to Cadman Plaza and Whitman Park, as well as many great restaurants and shops, and the Brooklyn Bridge and Clark Street subway station.
