Avenue H Station, BMT Brighton Line
Post
Avenue H Station House DATE: 1906 STYLE: Colonial Revival, Queen Anne The Avenue H station on the BMT line, originally the Brooklyn, Flatbush & Coney Island Railroad, built in 1906, is the city’s only shingled wooden cottage turned transit station house. Often compared to a country train stop, it originally served as a real estate sales office for developer Thomas Benton Ackerson to sell property in the adjacent neighborhood of Fiske Terrace, an early twentieth-century example of planned suburban development. The structure, with a hipped and flared roof and wraparound porch evokes in miniature the area’s Colonial Revival and Queen Anne houses.
Midwood Branch, Brooklyn Public Library
Post
Brooklyn Public Library, Midwood Branch, 1958. Midwood Library was founded in 1912 as a deposit station in a Coney Island drug store. The branch moved several times over the years. In the 1950s, the Midwood branch was one of nine libraries to receive a new building constructed by the City. The mid century construction is obvious in the style of the building, including the softly angled wall at the front, uniform metal framed windows, and silver metal signage.

1501 Avenue J, 1958. This corner view from 1958 shows the usual suspects that make up this south Brooklyn neighborhood commercial thoroughfares: barber shops, dry cleaners, clothing stores, and banks. The bank building at no. 1505 is occupied at this time by a Manufacturers Trust Company Bank. Today is it a Valley National Bank.
