The old Brooklyn Church (in the bowl), a pioneer for the “City of Churches.” Which stood upon what is now known as Fulton Street, between Bridge and Lawrence Streets, in 1776, is an exact reproduction of that quaint old church building. Hdle rev. The Fulton Ferry scene of 1746 (handle reverse) is also an exact reproduction, showing the old ferry landing very near its present location at the foot of Fulton Street.
