Built in 1918, the Brooklyn Army Terminal (formerly known as the US Army Military Ocean Terminal) was the largest U.S. military supply base through World War II. It was used as an active supply base up until the 1970s when it was decommissioned. The terminal sat empty for 11 years until the City purchased it from the military with the intention of repurposing it for manufacturing and industrial use.
In this video from real estate website StreetEasy, take a tour of the Brooklyn Army Terminal and its rich local history.
Brooklyn has become the de facto borough of entrepreneurship, creativity and a growing DIY ethos. The borough is abuzz with ingenuity and industry and nowhere is this more apparent than behind the looming gates of the Brooklyn Army Terminal.
