4 Boro nominates W/G Landmarks
The Four Three Boro Neighborhood Preservation Association recently nominated sites in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island for landmark designation (they must not get to the Bronx much). The sites chosen by 4B in North Brooklyn include:
- Eberhard Faber Pencil Factory
McCarren Park Pool Center
Matchett Candy Factory
Weidmann Cooperage
I. Rokeach & Sons Building
Old Dutch Mustard Co.
Harte & Co. Building
143 Roebling Street
55 Hope Street
South Bushwick Reformed Church
Fillmore Place Historic District
Grand Street Historic District
Dunham Place Historic District
As Curbed was kind enough to note, its a bit late for Dutch Mustard, and the McCarren Park Recreation Center was already heard by LPC back in January. Still, despite some glaring omissions, and a list is heavy on WPA's industrial priorities to the neglect of everything else, 4B's list includes many worthy landmarks.

My grandfather's brother owned and operated the Matchett Candy Factory at in Brooklyn, NY. I am searching for a photo of this historic building.
