Forgotten NY throws us a fastball down the middle this week with its look at Edwin Litchfield’s impact on Park Slope, with an emphasis on Third Street. Highlights include the former Brooklyn Improvement Company building (soon to be part of Whole Foods) at Third and Third, his Prospect Park mansion (above) and the extra-wide Third Street (to accommodate Litchfield’s carriage) that connects them. Yum.
