the office building and financial centre OF
Brooklyn. At this point are grouped num-
Der Of tall Office buildings IN which are
housed important banking institutions, life
insurance and title companies, Near by
are several well known libraries, clubs and
schools. Along Fulton street from the
Borough Hall northward to Flatbush ave-
nue. extends the shopping district, with
it's numerous department stores and
theatres. This part Of lower Fulton street
comprises the most important business
section Of the borough, and the crowds Of
shoppers along it's extent are fully as great
as those on New York's busy streets.
The Heights lies TO the west OF the
Borough Hall directly across the East
River from downtown Manhattan This
section includes the homes Of great many
fashionable people and has earned the
reputation OF being the most exclusive
residential neighborhood in Brooklyn.
The houses are mainly Of the familiar
brownstone type and vary widely in size
and cost. In the last few years several
fine hotels and elevator apartment houses
have been built on sites overlooking the
harbor and the upper bay, The Heights
has long been established as a high class
residential neighborhood. and the present
subway service has served merely 10 make
its attractiveness more widely known.

with Myrtle avenue and Fulton street az its
northern and southern boundaries In
ohided within this area is Fort Greene

The Borough Of Brooklyn is essentially
borough OF homes. Its business and
manufacturing interests are OF compare
lively minor Importance and are not con-
contrated in any one district, as are those
Of Manhattan, but are spread out over the
borough in the form Of local trade centres.
The big industrial enterprises, shipyards
tai basins and the warehouses and grain
csyators are scattered along the bank
u the East River from Newtown Creek TO
Eav Ridge. The retail firms, the depart
ment stores and the many small shops
and markets are distributed along the
main arteries Of traffic Fulton street.

which run both elevated and surface lines,

street because Of its recent widening and
,he operation OF trolley cars through a
Iart of its extent. is also coming into promi-
nence.
Apeculiar feature Of the business districts
N Brooklyn is their lack Of breadth. They
extend for considerable distances along
The well travelled thoroughfares, but do
not spread out into the side streets more
than a few doors from the corner, except
along transverse trolley lines. Even Fulton
street. the main artery Of traffio, is no eK-
coption to this rule. A block or so from
hs busiest corners one finds quiet streets
lined with old fashioned private houses
and rows Of fats and tenements.
Brooklyn ia divided into great many
separate districts. the boundary lines be-
tween which are rather difficult to define
exactly, Some Of these districts are the
ou,growths Of old settlements and distinct
communities; others have come into prom
inence in business way or as residential
sections through the establishment OF new
rapid transit lines. A third class includes
the older parts Of the former city OF Brook
lyn where people Of wealth and prominence
nave established their nOinSs'
The main divisions Of the borough are
known az Downtown or Old Brooklyn, the
Bedford section, Flatbush, South Brook
lyn, Eastern District, East New York,
Ridgevood and Brownsville. Under these
general terms are included a great many
subdivisions Of distinctive character.
Downtown, or Old Brooklyn, broadly
speaking, comprises that part OF the bor-
olgh within five or ten minute radius Of
the Borough Hall, the present teQninus
Of the subway. Included under this head
are the Heights, the Hill and the Park
