To the Honorable, the Common Council : GENTLEMEN-I have the honor herewith to submit to your Honorable Body my Annual Report concerning the care of the Parks and Parkways of the City of Brooklyn and of the County of Kings, which have been under my charge during the year 1895. There have been more than the usual developments in the way of care and improvement of the parks, and in addition there has been an acquisition of property which doubles the area of park lands existing at the beginning of the year, thus placing the city somewhat on a par with other great cities of the country. Steps have also been taken in the direction of increas- ing the pleasure drives, and the County now owns nearly all the property needed for the creation of the most charming drive in the world-the Hay Ridge Parkway, or, as it is popularly called, the Shore Drive.

    B.R.T. CENTRAL POWERHOUSE 153 Second Street Brooklyn, New York DRAFT HISTORICAL BACKGROUND REpORT January 2005 Higgins & Quasebarth 270 Lafayette Street New York, NY 10012 (212) 274-9468 INTRODUCTION & SUMMARY 2 This draft report has been compiled by Higgins & Quasebarth for Gowanus Village LLC to explore the historical development of the site to inform the process for the potential redevelopment of the parcel. The documentation included in this report is based on historical map research, various written sources including early newspapers, and correspondence with historians at Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA). Other possible sources which have not yet been reviewed include the records of MTA, and possibly ConEdison, and the resources available at the Brooklyn Historical Society which has been closed due to construction. Also, an additional site visit and inspection of the existing fabric would be helpful in revealing the amount of historic fabric that remains. 153 Second Street is a monumental, three-story brick powerhouse located immediately east of the Gowanus Canal on Second Street in Brooklyn, New York. The block is bounded by the Gowanus Canal to the west, Third Avenue to the east, to the south by Second Street, and, histOrically, to the north by the First Street Basin, which has been infilled. Constructed between 1900 and 1904, the building was part of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit's Central Powerhouse complex, which fully occupied this block. The north section of the building was demolished between 1938 and 1950. The Central Powerhouse was constructed as part of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit (ERT) electrification project when all of the consolidated Brooklyn surface and elevated railways were electrified.
