The Alice and Agate Courts Historic District consists of 36 row houses set on two half-block cul-de-sacs designed by Brooklyn architect Walter M. Coots in the Queen Anne style. The houses were built in 1888-1889 for industrialist Florian Grosjean. These row houses form a quiet residential oasis in the midst of the heavily commercial Atlantic Avenue and are characteristic of the late-19th-century development of Bedford-Stuyvesant spurred by transportation improvements.
