Thank you(I think)….
Sid, you’re a card.
While Moses may have built the Promenade it wasn’t voluntarily. He wanted a regular highway and it was only the opposition of the Brahmans of Brooklyn Heights that stopped him.
Its a little known story that Pierrepont was the Walentas of his era. He rented one of the first houses to a chocolatier called Israel Torres; He had a thoroughbred horse called “Ferrari”; and his wife Jane owned one of the first steam powered carousels which she wanted to put on the never built public promenade along the waterfront in Brooklyn Heights.
