Atonement
Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn
A cultural institution founded in 1863, occupying a grand Romanesque Revival landmark in Brooklyn Heights, just steps from the Promenade. The building offers two distinctive interior settings: a first-floor Great Hall with stately columns and soaring ceilings, and a historic library with delicately carved ash woodwork, stained glass, and a skylit reading room. Together, these spaces offer both grand and intimate settings with a warm architectural character.

Tungsten’s Take
One of the great undiscovered event rooms in Brooklyn. The library in particular with its hand-carved woodwork and stained glass has a warmth and gravitas that few spaces anywhere can match.
