Windows and curtains in #Fort_Greene, #Brooklyn.

Williamsburg Bridge, 1903 The Williamsburg Bridge was the second bridge to span the East River following the Brooklyn Bridge almost two decades earlier and took half the time to build. By the time the bridge opened the independent city of Brooklyn had been consolidated into New York City. Compared to the neo-gothic towers of the #BrooklynBridge the public hated the steel towers of the Williamsburg Bridge when it opened. The 333-foot towers were originally designed to have a 140-foot tall spire atop each but were never constructed. The Bridge also featured a trolley terminal under #DelanceyStreet where streetcars going over the bridge would turn around. Streetcar service on the bridge was discontinued in 1948 and the terminal was shut down and lays abandoned to this day. The underground space was selected for the proposed #Lowline underground park, which features technology to reflect sunlight underground to grow plants. #williamsburg #brookyln #southwilliamsburg #nyc #dumbo #fortgreene #williamsburgbridge #manhattan #skyline #nychisory #nyhistory #urbanism #delanceystreet #brooklynbridge #manhattanbridge #nycphoto #eastriver #skyscraper #brooklynhistory #brooklynheights #nycurbanism (at Williamsburg Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxJYYguUL3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
