East New York’s Empire State Dairy wins landmark designation
Moooooo!
The old Borden Dairy in East New York is Brooklyn’s newest landmark.
On Tuesday, the city Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously to designate the century-old industrial complex at 2840 Atlantic Ave., which is also known as the Empire State Dairy Company Buildings, as a landmark.
This is a rare honor for East New York, a neighborhood with numerous buildings that preservationists consider worthy of landmark designation but few actual landmarks.
