Summary

Looking south at the entrance to Prospect Park from the top of the Memorial Arch, Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, NY. September 16, 2001, about ten minutes after four in the afternoon. The main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library is on the left, between Eastern Parkway and Flatbush Avenue (going south). The old Knights of Columbus hall and Union Street are on the right. Prospect Park West, on the right side of the entrance, runs south. The architectural design of this, the main entrance to the park, draws heavily from the City Beautiful Movement The architectural firm of McKim, Mead, and White were the primary consultant architects of the City of Brooklyn Parks Commission in the 1880's and 1890's and redesigned the entrance of the park around that time, replacing rustic fencing and trolley stops with neoclassical equivalents that were more in keeping with the grandeur of the City Beautiful movement, if less in keeping with the Romanitc, rustic motifs favored by Olmsted and Vaux.
