Cornelius Kingsland Garrison Monument
Post
Mausoleum of Cornelius Kingsland Garrison (1809-1885), ca. 1875. The Garrison mausoleum is one of the largest and most elaborate tombs at Green-Wood. It was designed by architect Griffith Thomas (who is interred at Green-Wood) in the Moorish Revival style, and constructed in the early 1870s. The elaborate stone fence seen in these early photographs has since been removed. (Lot 13628, Sec. 28)
43rd Street and New Utrecht Avenue
Post
West side of the intersection of 43rd Street and New Utrecht Avenue, looking north, December 15, 1913. The homes seen in the distance at right are a part of the real estate development of Borough Park that occurred from the 1890s through the early decades of the 20th century. Just before the turn of the century real estate developer William Reynolds moved on from rowhouse development in Prospect Heights, to purchasing farmland south of the park. From the large parcel of land he bought, Reynolds created 4,000 lots, sold some off to investors, and built homes on others. Unlike the attached rowhouses of his early ventures, Borough Park developed, from the ground up, into a neighborhood of mostly large single family homes.
Lundin's Brooklyn
Story
In the middle of the 20th century, Wigorot Lundin began making prints of the New York Transit Authority's survey negative. Taken in the 1910s and 20s, the photos show a city in transition, expanding with the advent of new technology. Lundin's Brooklyn sheds light on disparate parts of a borough, some bustling with modernity, while others border on the agrarian.

Post
Intersection of 40th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway, looking north, December 15, 1913. This survey photograph was taken prior to construction of the elevated BMT West End Line. The trees seen in the distance at center are in nearby Green-Wood Cemetery. The masonry building at left (979 40th Street) and still stands. The wood-frame building at right with the turret has unfortunately been replaced by a single store brick structure. The street is now shadowed by the elevated train tracks above. Notice the shadow of photographer G.W. Pullis and his camera at the bottom of the frame.
