It was designed by architect Griffith Thomas (who is interred at Green-Wood) in the Moorish Revival style, and constructed in the early 1870s.

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.
40th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway
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 The wood-frame building at right with the turret has unfortunately been replaced by a single store brick structure.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.
