Old-School Pratt

How cool is this! The Pratt Institute Libraries has just finished uploading its collection of historic images from the school's history. The school has created a number of different Flickr sets of photos; check out the list here. We pulled out five photos from this set for you, and have provided direct links below. We love this first shot with the elevated tracks in the foreground.

Very cool. I love this stuff!

The Pratt Library is one of my favorite buildings in Brooklyn. It combines several of my fave things: books, great architecture and Tiffany glass and styling. What can be better than that? I had been in there years ago with a Pratt friends, and revisted a couple years ago on the Clinton Hill house tour. I would love to have just one of their stacks in a room with glass panels on the floor.

the Pratt campus does not look much like this today. The main building is still there and the library is still there minus its stoop, but was that entire quad demolished?

Wow - awesome pics. Pratt is still nice today, but boy oh boy it was pretty grand back in the day.
