"Dean Street, east from Ralph Avenue. On the north side (left) of the street, and extending to Howard Avenue, is Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum, 1940." In 1878, the Hebrew Benefit Society and Orphan Asylum, a Manhattan organization decided to only accept children from Manhattan. As a result the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum was created, and was housed in the ivy covered building seen at left after 1892. In 1936 more than 1000 children were being cared for by Brooklyn institution (some of whom were in fosters homes throughout the boroughs).

My Archive Summer 2019 “Me, my twin sister, my older sister, my older brother and my younger brother and two friends... this picture was taken in Brooklyn New York 1966 on the roof of the building 333 Hopkinson Avenue between St Marks and Eastern Parkway. This picture has been in my possession since day one. One Saturday morning, my mother just said let's go take a picture on the roof so we did. My brother on the top left-hand side was murdered in 2014 in Brooklyn, New York, and my twin sister died in 1995.” —Hope Moultrie
