Brooklyn Heights: 100 Years Ago

A couple glorious shots of the nabe from nearly 100 years ago... 1916 versus 2009. It certainly had more moxie then.109 Montague Street, home of Heights Books for the past five years. Sadly, the building was just sold for $3.7 million, so the business is moving out in March and this will soon be another bygone memory of the Heights.And below, 101 Montague Street, now a Thai restaurant. So sad that the crown of the building was stripped away.My buds at the Brooklyn Heights Blog were kind enough to post this entry.
