The photo was taken in preparation for the construction of the South Brooklyn segment of the IND Culver Line (today's F/G), which would connect to the Eighth Avenue Line at Jay Street.

At right is the F. Figge Provisions wholesale market. Today, the market site is occupied by the Brooklyn Detention Complex.
