EVENT DETAILS

After the creation of the Brooklyn Bridge, the City of Brooklyn found itself drastically evolving. Wealthy inhabitants relocated to new neighborhoods—building new institutions such as the Brooklyn Museum and Botanical Gardens—and presided over a verdant Victorian city for nearly two generations. When the subway came to Brooklyn after WWI, the borough morphed into a middle-class American dream for Manhattan’s ethnic masses

Barry Lewis is an architectural historian who specializes in European and American architecture from the 18th to 20th century.
