FDNY Engine 236
Post
“BFD,” the initials fancifully engraved just above the first story of this Romanesque Revival style fire station, say a lot more than one might think on first glance. Standing for “Brooklyn Fire Department,” the initials confirm that this building dates to sometime between 1869, when the Brooklyn Fire Department was organized, and 1898, when the boroughs were consolidated to form the Greater City of New York. The Brooklyn Fire Department only lasted a few decades before merging with the FDNY after the city’s consolidation. Interestingly, this building was constructed in 1895 to house Engine 36, so it only served the Brooklyn Fire Department for about three years. Shortly after the consolidation, the fire companies were renumbered to avoid confusion, and this company became Engine 136 until 1913, when it was reorganized again to become Engine 236. Referred to as “The Pride of East New York,” Engine 236 continues to serve the community today

Public School 65 ARCHITECT: James W. Naughton DATE: 1870 STYLE: Romanesque Revival Public School 65K, in the Cypress Hills section of Brooklyn, was originally built in 1870 and given its present Romanesque Revival facade by James W. Naughton in 1889. The building still functions as a public school and serves as a living reminder of the long history of public education in Kings County.

Public School 65, ca. 1930. The original section of this school building was constructed circa 1870 by an unknown architect. In 1889, the school, which was suffering from overcrowding, was extensively renovated under the direction of James Naughton, Superintendent of School Buildings in Brooklyn. Public School 65 remained in operation through the 21st century. Today a new Public School 65 operates nearby on Jamaica Avenue, while this building is home to Achievement First ENY, a charter school.
