Lederer, Victor

New York native and resident Victor Lederer compiled this volume with the cooperation of the Brooklyn Historical Society. Author of College Point, he has also written about New York's history for the Museum of the City of New York. Founded in 1863, the Brooklyn Historical Society is one of the nation's oldest organizations dedicated to local history and is the repository of the world's largest collection of materials about Brooklyn. The society's 1881 landmark headquarters and museum is one of New York's architectural gems.
