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.

that's great

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

This will help educate the locals
