Description
Colorized photo from 1903
Original title: Brooklyn Bridge Terminal
Location: Adams St, Brooklyn NY
I mostly liked the signs in this, there were just so many, and as recognizable as some of them are, I couldn't find a single one. I debated if the Quaker Oats sign background was blue or red, all the post cards showed red. So red it was.
I also couldn't decide if i should keep that massive old red tower on the right. It was dark and distracting and it sent the eye in the wrong direction. But with the other reds in the scene, I think it balances out.
Today, this location has pretty much none of these buildings. There was one place called - Eagle Warehouse, and that building still exists, but I don't know if its in this picture beyond the sign. Even the skyline is different.
I'm not even sure if this location I gave is accurate. I matched the first curve I could find, and it seems to kind of match up.
If you look carefully you can see laundry put up on the roof's behind the signs, as well as two sign painters.
