1 p.m. USS Monitor to the Dreamland Bell: Unscrambling the Story of James Gregory
2013-03-09 13:00 - 15:00
Civil War Ships, a Coney Island pier, vanished Lower East Side streets and Green-Wood – they all converge in this talk by architect David Grider. David’s unflagging curiosity led him on a long research journey through the brass foundry of James Gregory’s surprising eminence in New York history.
The rapid-prototyping neighborhoods of foundries & ship yards may have vanished long ago, but their artful pieces still pop up in SoHo facades, Virginian steeples and, surprisingly, the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. He’ll detail his findings and the hidden threads one uncovers in research. It’s perfect for urban history enthusiasts or anyone who’s ever dove head first into the research rabbit hole.
After the talk, hop on our trolley for a tour of related Green-Wood sites, like James Gregory himself, Brooklyn Bridge caisson maker Eckford Webb, and cast iron great James Bogardus.
This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:

The free talk in the historic Green-Wood chapel.
A guided trolley tour immediately following the talk. Tickets are $10 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $15 for non-members.

Seating is limited for both the talk and the trolley tour, and reservations are recommended.

1 p.m. Life and Death Along Sportsmen’s Row: Brooklyn’s Eighth Avenue and Green-Wood
2013-05-12 13:00 - 15:00
In the 1890s, a swath of Eighth Avenue was grandly deemed Sportsmen’s Row for the many residents in horseracing as owners, trainers, and jockeys. Meanwhile, they lived among men of prominence and success in politics, business, law, and the arts. Lucas Rubin has explored their intertwined lives in his 2012 book, Brooklyn’s Sportsmen’s Row: Politics, Society, and the Sporting Life on Northern Eighth Avenue. And in fact, much of Rubin’s research was done in Green-Wood’s fruitful archives.
Now, Rubin offers something of a final chapter, a “where are they now?” of these early Brooklyn residents. Just as their lives came together in fascinating ways, death brought many together again – right here in Green-Wood.
This talk will take a closer look at some of the book’s more peripheral characters – and some of Eighth Avenue’s most renowned denizens. After the talk, hop on the trolley for a tour of related Green-Wood sites.
This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part:

The free book talk/presentation in the historic Green-Wood chapel, ending with a book signing.
A guided trolley tour immediately following the talk. Tickets are $10 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $15 for non-members.

Seating is limited for both the talk and the trolley tour, and reservations are recommended.

This event is presented in partnership with the Brooklyn Historical Society

1 p.m. Starchitects of Yore Trolley tour
2013-07-13 13:00 - 15:00
Good architecture exalts the spirit, so it’s no surprise that many architects, builders and designers have sought to make Green-Wood, whose purpose is exaltation of the spirit, their final resting place.
James Renwick (St. Patrick’s Cathedral), James Bogardus and Daniel Badger (cast-iron pioneers), Montrose Morris and George Chappell (best of “Brownstone” Brooklyn architecture), John McComb, Jr. (New York City Hall), Jacob Wrey Mould (Central Park features), Grosvenor Atterbury (Forest Hills Gardens), John Kellum (Tweed Courthouse), Gamaliel King (Brooklyn Borough Hall) and more – they all call Green-Wood home.
Expert guide Ruth Edebohls will lead you through landscape architect David Bates Douglass’ incomparable work of art (and also visit him), stopping by samples of great architecture by luminaries like Richard Upjohn & Son, Warren & Wetmore and Stanford White.
