The history within reach

Atlantic Avenue closes to traffic from Fourth Avenue to the waterfront for Brooklyn's largest street festival, with live music stages, food vendors, and merchants from the avenue's own shops.
Crews roofed over a rail cut beneath Atlantic Avenue in seven months and opened the tunnel in December 1844, so trains could reach the ferry without running down the middle of the street.
Long Island College Hospital opened in 1858 and spent a century and a half as the teaching hospital for this corner of Brooklyn.
Baith Israel was founded in 1856 and built the first synagogue on Long Island.
Court Street station opened in 1936 as a terminal for local trains and hardly anyone used it, so the shuttle serving it was dropped in 1946 and the platforms sat dark for thirty years.
