In 1967 this corner building was local Draft Board No. 39. It has thankfully lost it’s purpose now. You used to enter on the side street and climb the flight of stairs to the second floor offices with its rows of desks and clerks. I guess I’m not the only person to have stories about this building, and what it stood for back then.

If you enlarge the picture, and look way down the block you will see Garguilo’s restaurant, Brooklyn’s second best-known Italian restaurant…the first one always being your local pizzaria.
