Around Brooklyn
A Blast from Brooklyn’s Past!

It’s time for another dose
of A Blast from Brooklyn’s
Past! In partnership with
Brooklyn Historical Society,
this series of photographs
illustrate our borough over
the decades via images from
BHS’s vast collection showcasing
Brooklyn’s diverse
history.
In this installment, our
partners at BHS reeled in
four images of buildings
along Brooklyn’s waterfront.
The Brooklyn waterfront, its
communities, and its ecosystems
served as the inspiration
for the immersive exhibition
Waterfront at BHS’s
second location in DUMBO.
Take a guess as to the location
of each photo, and be
sure to check the Resource
Guide in this issue to fi nd out
the answers! Fun fact: one of
these historical images features
the current home of
Brooklyn Historical Society
DUMBO.

relationship between Brooklynites
and the waterfront,
