Concrete and Cass Gilbert: The Brooklyn Army Terminal
Story
The striking Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT) is a prime location and a critically important site for industrial companies looking to grow and expand in New York City. With cavernous spaces and striking architecture, the BAT played an important role in America's war effort.
Tunis Bergen House
Post
"Cat on Steps of Tunis Bergen House, ca. 1905." Dr. Ralph Irving Lloyd was a Brooklyn ophthalmologist and amateur photographer whose collection of lantern slides is housed at the Brooklyn Historical Society. Lloyd, who died in 1969, spent much of his life in Brooklyn, and was an avid photographer of historic 17th, 18th, and 19th century houses. One can imagine that Lloyd was likely also a cat lover as there is a large selection of cat photographs, though most do not pinpoint the location beyond the neighborhood. This feline photo is credited as being taken at the Tunis Bergen House, a 18th century homestead on 58th Street, in what is now called Sunset Park.

Zion Norwegian Lutheran Church
Post
North-facing survey photograph of Fourth Avenue at 64th Street, October 17, 1912. The Zion Norwegian Lutheran Church is visible at upper right. The cornerstone of the one-story church was laid in October 1910, two years after the congregation was founded. A new church was built on the same site in 1937. Since then, southern Brooklyn's once-prominent Scandinavian population has dwindled. The final service at Zion was held in January 2014, by which point the congregation numbered in the teens.
