The Brooklyn Eagle August 28, 2010 Historically Speaking: By John B. Manbeck http://www.brooklyneagle.com/categories/category.php?category_id=15&id=35052 A century ago, the Borough of Brooklyn sprung to life. In 1898, the City of Brooklyn was dissolved into the Borough of Brooklyn. While the borough no longer had the prestige of the “fourth largest city in America,” it still retained a panache that captured the imagination. So the beginning of the 20th century saw the organization of the Brooklyn Heights Neighborhood Association, the opening of the Brooklyn Museum, the founding of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the relocation of Jehovah’s Witnesses headquarters from Pittsburgh to Brooklyn Heights. Now the Witnesses are planning to move to upstate New York, abandoning their very notable presence and property to more commercial interests. |
