BHS HW – 10/1

On 10/1,  I learned many things from our trip to the Brooklyn Hisorical Society. First off, my classmates and I got see BHS indoors for the first time, and it actually really did look historical, especially in the library, you can feel a historical vibe. One of the maps that interested me was the Subway map. From this map, we go to see the subway lines from 1942. Most notably was the use of only three train lines at the time, less/changed train stops and that there was no MTA, but private comapanies that owned the lines. Also I took a look at a 2 property maps with my group which was kind of interesting seeing building and their owners that lived there at that specific time period, and compare it to the family or person that currently lives there. The map that I might include to accompany my chosen locations would be a pictorial or a Road map, because it can clearly show the location and the distances between each of the destinatons.

  1. It would be interesting to find out when those subway lines were added, and when the New York Transit Authority became the Metropolitan Transit Authority, and why–and what impact that has had if any.
