Down Town Brooklyn: A Report to the Comptroller of the City of New York on Sites for Public Buildings and the Relocation of the Elevated Railroad Tracks now in Lower Fulton Street, Borough of Brooklyn
Brooklyn (New York, N.Y.). Committee of Ten
Brooklyn (New York, N.Y.) -- History; Railroads, Elevated -- New York (State) -- New York
The committee has endeavored to deal with these four factors, viz.,
court house, municipal building, bridge plaza and re-location of
tracks, so that the money expended should not only bring the best
result for each factor, but at the same time bring the additional
benefit of relating the four factors so that all will unite to improve
the downtown center. We shall now compare the cost and advantages of
the four factors as presented in the Clinton Street court house site,
and as presented in the other plans that reasonably meet the needs of
the situation.
FIRST PLAN
CLINTON STREET COURT HOUSE SITE
(See diagram marked Plan 1)
1. Cost of bridge changes and re-location of
tracks as estimated by the Department
of Bridges, and assessed value
of additional property required for
same $4,012,095.00
2. Assessed valuation of land and buildings between
Washington and Fulton streets 1,249,100.00
3. Assessed valuation land and buildings,
Clinton Street site for court house 1,527,700.00
4. Municipal Building site at south-west
corner of Court and Joralemon streets
(title now vested in the city)
-------------
Total $6,788,895.00
This plan places the new court house on the site selected by the
judges, and the new municipal building on the site that has been
condemned for this purpose at the corner of Court and Joralemon
streets to which will be added the land covered by the old municipal
building. For the purpose of these comparisons no values are placed on
land and buildings now owned by the city.
