Doesn’t this photo of the old Flatbush Avenue Terminal just make you want to cry? Kevin Walsh of Forgotten NY brought this photo (and the others on this website) to our attention. (That’s One Hanson aka the Williamsburgh Savings Bank in the background.) The passenger station opened in 1907 and was completely refurbished in the 1940s; like many historic structures in Brooklyn, the terminal was allowed to deteriorate in the 1960s and 1970s and the Transit Authority tore it down in the mid-1980s. What a waste.

I don’t know. What???
I don’t see how that little fence could’ve kept the evildoers from driving a truck full of explosives into the terminal. Thanks God the current building is properly protected!
One of my fsvorite jokes.
“Dave, what do Brooklyn and a woman wearing pantyhose have in common?”
