604 Marcy Avenue

Board of Water Supply. Laying water distribution pipes. Southwest corner of Marcy Avenue, looking west. A milk delivery at the corner of Willoughby Avenue and Marcy Avenue in Brooklyn, where lengths of pipe line the street during construction. The Alexander Campbell Milk Company distributed milk in glass bottles from wagons that began their daily routes at 2 a.m. Campbell claimed to have built the first creamery for bottled milk in the United States and developed the first glass bottle for milk by 1910. It merged with Borden's Farm Products in 1918. The grocery selling "milk, butter, eggs, and fancy groceries" and displaying a pyramid of sardine cans is gone�replaced eventually by the Red Gate Community Garden�but the brownstones on the right are still standing. Construction at this corner was particularly tricky because the water pipe had to cross underneath the existing brick sewer. September 23, 1914.
