A 19th Century Factory for the Garment Industry in GreenpointYou really don't know Brooklyn neighborhoods, do you? 16 Bedford Avenue, located between Manhattan Ave. and Lorimer St., is located in Greenpoint, not Williamsburg. Greenpoint ends, and Williamsburg begins, at North 12th Street. BTW, contrary to what some gentrifying flyover state refugees are led to believe, McCarren Park is wholly within Greenpoint. There is no connection to, or with, Williamsburg. Its original name was Greenpoint Park.
A 19th Century Factory for the Garment Industry in GreenpointOne of the best renovation/restoration I've ever seen. Beautiful!
