Students attending Kingsborough in 1887?

These aren’t really Kingsborough students, but they are walking where present day KCC students actually walk to classes everyday. This photo is from approximately 130 years ago and is of the Oriental and Manhattan Beach Hotels. To the right is the Bathing Pavillion for the Oriental Hotel and the sign announces the evenings entertainment of Fireworks and Live Music.

Blog1Photo is from the Kingsborough Historical Society founded by Professor Emeritus, and KCC Foundation Inc. Board Member, as well as former Brooklyn Borough Historian and noted author, John Manbeck.
