DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN & ADJACENT AREAS
Starting from Borough Hall, this section moves southeast down Fulton Street, taking in a few areas a little north and south of that artery, then covers the area just to the west of Borough Hall, and concludes with a few sites extending north of Borough Hall as far up as the foot of Brooklyn Bridge. Also included are two out-of-Brooklyn views associated with Namm’s on Fulton Street and the Long Island Rail Road depot on Flatbush Avenue.
24. PARK THEATRE, FULTON STREET, NEAR JORALEMON STREET, CA. 1902. Colonel William E. Sinn’s Park Theatre, opened in 1863, was one of Brooklyn’s most celebrated playhouses until destroyed by fire in 1908. It is photographed here amid a patchwork of signs, many of which are reminders of a past era when the top price of a seat in a neighborhood theater was 50 cents and a pair of shoes cost $2.50. At this time the popular Spooner Stock Company, under the direction of Mrs. Mary Gibbs Spooner (1855–1940), was appearing at the Park, where it endeared itself to Brooklyn theatergoers. At the left are the Germania Savings Bank and the Arbuckle Building.
