Brooklyn: Linden Street - Central Avenue

1925

Linden Street, north from Central Ave. The two mansions at the right, are on land owned by Watson Bowson in 1869. (In 1842, in Bushwick, he purchased a farm adjoining that of Adrian Suydam, and, after subdividing it into lots, sold them. He repeated this process in land in Flushing ten years later. He died in 1876). January 1925. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection.
