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.

Would you want to see every block in bed-stuy landmarked??? I wouldn’t!
The best idea would be for the MAS to landmark all of Brooklyn, period.
Anyone here disagrees?
