Grand Ferry Park 1997
Between 1800 and 1918, ferries crossed the East River from this location. The Nassau Ferry Co. ran service between Grand Street and Houston Street and the Williamsburg Ferry ran between Grand Street in Brooklyn and Grand Street in Manhattan with boats leaving every five minutes. The completion of the Williamsburg Bridge in 1903 shrank the need for ferry service. On this former ferry terminal site, the Parks Council, community groups and neighbors created a park from the recycled materials in 1974. This 20 foot smokestack is a relic of the Pfizer Company’s molasses processing plant on the property to the north, saved to be part of the Grand Ferry Park.

I Love Franklin Avenue Blog Snaps Studebaker Fading Ad in Crown Heights

From what I can make out, it reads “Studebaker Service Station, 1000 Dean Street,” advertising a long-gone garage whose address is the building the sign is painted on. – Nick @ I Love Franklin Avenue blog
