Raymond Street Jail

Brooklyn: Ashland Place - Willoughby Street

transcription: Ashland Place, east side, between Willoughby Street and De Kalb Ave., showing Raymond Street City Prison. 1923.

Comments: I recall walking north by the still operational jail during the period 1958-1962 when I attended Brooklyn Technical High School nearby (DeKalb and Ft. Greene Pl.). The jail was demolished in 1963.
