Pratt Institute Main Building Jan. 2015
Situated on Ryerson street, between Willoughby and DeKalb avenues, its location is admirable, on a quiet street with ample room, far enough uptown to be thoroughly Brooklyn in character, within a block of the elevated railroad, near the dwellings of the artisans of Brooklyn whom it is intended to benefit and yet within a stone's throw of the Adelphi Academy and the handsomest residences, it is really central in its location. On glancing at the six story fire proof building we are struck by its look of sensible solidity; the fitness of the means to the end.
