Forgotten NY kicks off a new series of posts called FNY Roads with a look at Vanderbilt Avenue’s architecture and streetscape in Prospect Heights, Clinton Hill and Wallabout. As shown above, the avenue’s biggest and most striking buildings like the PS 9 Annex and the Masonic Temple are featured, as are hand-painted signs and some of the housing stock north of Myrtle. Favorite quote: “When I was attending high school a couple of blocks away on Atlantic and Washington from 1971-1975, if you told me tour buses would someday be making their way along Vanderbilt, I would have called the men in the white coats.”

FNY rocks.
Thanks for posting this and putting Forgotten NY back on my radar. I can spend hours on that site.
Vanderbilt Avenue is the border of the Fort Greene and Clinton Hill Landmark Districts. I’ll point out that the Masonic Temple is not on Vanderbilt. It on the other side of Queen of All Saints that IS on Vanderbilt.
