MAS Proposed Downtown Landmark #14

landmark
Where: 567, 569 and 571 Fulton Street
When:
Why: Two excellent examples of cast iron commercial facades are visible. The third, having suffered fire damage, remains potentially viable. In 1885, No. 569 Fulton housed Anderson & Company, the Brooklyn representative of Hardman Peck, pinao manufacturers specializing in player pianos. It later became, successively, a branch of the Franklin Trust Company in 1909, Atlantic National Bank in 1922, and Bank of America in 1924 until at least 1929. No. 571, in 1880, was the headquarters of the Young Men's Central Garfield and Arthur Club. In 1897, it housed the Brooklyn Furniture Company and in 1907 was a slent movie theatre.

The best idea would be for the MAS to landmark all of Brooklyn, period.
Anyone here disagrees?

Would you want to see every block in bed-stuy landmarked??? I wouldn't!

I just want to make their job easier, and of course, I mean it sarcastically.

Nor would I want to see every block in any Bklyn neighborhood landmarked (with appropriate emphasis). Stop picking on Bed Stuy already.

Nor would I want to see every block in any Bkly neighborhood landmarked (appropriate emphasis added). Enough negatives about Bed Stuy already.
