First known as Yellow Hook, it included the military post at Fort Hamilton. Where British troops once marched up the banks, commuters today traverse the Verrazano Bridge. Over the years, Bay Ridge has grown into a thriving, diverse neighborhood with a proud Brooklyn history. In Bay Ridge, the Bay Ridge Historical Society has collected images from days gone by to tell the stories of an earlier time. One of the most famous contributions comes from the photographs of Samuel Winter Thomas, a photographer who lived at 3rd Avenue and 75th Street. Gazing at his nineteenth-century photographs, we see the early, rural character of Bay Ridge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bay Ridge Historical Society, Peter Scarpa, Lawrence Stelter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738508705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738508702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Bay Ridge Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925767848191,"sku":"9780738508702","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2c003fc5-2d3a-4c08-b237-7e342c823b9d.jpg?v=1681079236","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bay-ridge-bay-ridge-historical-society-9780738508702","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
