Convoluted and sometimes crusty, the saga of Fort Greene will surprise you with archival photographs you've probably never seen before. Imagine an elevated train running above Fulton Street with a trolley car scooting on tracks below, and a huge hole in the ground being readied for the C Train. Or see a rendering of one of America's largest Gothic cathedrals that was planned for Lafayette Avenue.
The smarlty done 128 page paperback book is full of astonishing glimpses of Fort Greene’s history and precocity.
It's all here in “Fort Greene,” from Arcadia Publishing, in one of its “Images of America” series – 128 pages of where, who, and how we were in earlier years. Fort Greene is authored by Howard Pitsch, a former chair of the FGA.
