Stoop of the Week
Historian Suzanne Spellen’s article this past week, Brooklyn's First Free Library Became the Brooklyn Museum, uncovers the fascinating evolution of one of Brooklyn’s most iconic institutions. Originally established in 1824 as the Apprentices’ Library, Brooklyn’s first free library aimed to provide working-class residents with access to books, maps, and educational resources. Over time, this small library grew into the Brooklyn Institute which offered lectures on topics ranging from the Florentine Renaissance to the chemistry of food.
She also writes, "Had the full design for the museum been completed, what we see today would have been duplicated on all four sides, creating a massive structure, one of the largest in the country."
