The Brooklyn Mirador -
The History of Grand Army Plaza,
Brooklyn's Civil War Memorial

In 1865 as the war ended, Frederic Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux
planned Grand Army Plaza. The result is a historic visual corridor:
The Tower of the Empire State Building (1931) bisects
the Arch (1892), Bailey Fountain and the JFK Memorial (1965).

This is a link to Wikimedia which shows the alignment

Enjoy the 24-page book and share it with your neighbors.
Hopefully the view will be visible again this Fall.
Richard, 35-years in Park Slope.

Oh, well that's awfully nice. Thanks Richard.

Most people around here don't even know which war the monument at GAP commemorates

This will help educate the locals
