Bartlett & Greene's free and bonded warehouses and elevators. Lithograph ca. 1880
Lithograph of Bartlet & Greene's warehouses and grain elevators by Endicott & Co ca. 1880. The area depicted is around the foot of Furman Street, slightly outside Red Hook's current boundaries. In the late 1800s Brooklyn was described as a "walled city" as stores - such as shown in this lithograph - once wrapped around the waterfront from what is now the Brooklyn Bridge area to around Red Hook's hook.
