Hello again Randy OTHANKS for that information --- so it IS used by the Red Cross since the 1970's ! It obviously had some modifications here and there -- perhaps if and when it was changed from a suspected Substation. At any rate, after the streetcars ceased running across the Bklyn bridge in 1954 and were gone completely from Brooklyn by 1956, IF it was a BMT electric substation, it was no longer needed by that time. Its amazing it survived all alone sandwiched within all the new roads and ramps construction -- even the whole part of Adams Street is wiped out ! I wonder why it had street-barricades along the rear (east) wall sidewalk line stenciled NYCT and NYCTA !! Regards - Joe F |
