The majestic Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower, or One Hanson Place, is the tallest building in Brooklyn. When it was built in the 1920s (above), the high-rise was to herald a new era of skyscrapers in the borough's. Then...boom. The Great Depression. Today, the landmark has been refashioned into upscale apartments, and remains in pristine shape as the proud grand dame looking over Brooklyn. (below pics from flickr)
