The Brooklyn Mirador -
The History of Grand Army Plaza,
Brooklyn’s Civil War Memorial

In 1865 as the war ended, Frederic Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux
planned Grand Army Plaza. The result is a historic visual corridor:
The Tower of the Empire State Building (1931) bisects
the Arch (1892), Bailey Fountain and the JFK Memorial (1965).

Hopefully the view will be visible again this Fall.
