The buildings at 375-379 Flatbush Avenue and 185-187 Sterling Place are a historic group of four commercial and residential buildings located in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. They were built in 1885 and are in the Neo-Grec style with Second Empire elements.[1] The 377-379 Flatbush Avenue building is a 3.5-story masonry structure with a commercial ground floor, apartments above, and a distinctive corner tower with pyramidal roof. It features a mansard roof. The 375 Flatbush Avenue building is a commercial/residential structure identical in form to 377-379 Flatbush Avenue, but without a mansard roof. The 185-187 Sterling Place buildings are two single family row houses built as companions to the other buildings.[3]

The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984,[2] and are located within the Prospect Heights Historic District created by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2009.[1]
