Prospect Park West 1947

Our on-and-0ff series of historic Brooklyn photos called Brooklyn Back in the Day is definitely on again. Here’s a view of Prospect Park West shot in 1947 from the Brooklyn Public Library’s online photo collection. What’s interesting about this photo is how little the view has changed. In fact, about the only thing that’s different today is that the trolley tracks in this picture are gone.
