Virtual Walking Tour: DUMBO’s Historic Architecture

The neighborhood today known as DUMBO was once the center for the agricultural hamlet of Brooklyn, and grew into a center of commerce, shipping, and manufacturing. On this virtual walk, we’ll look at several eras of the neighborhood’s history reflected in its architecture. From the storage warehouses of the 1860s, to the reinforced concrete industrial buildings of the Gairville complex, to the last remaining tenement building in the neighborhood, we’ll also examine how these buildings have been repurposed to create one of the most expensive residential and office districts in all of New York City.
