Brooklyn Eagle

You may have noticed this hansome eagle as you walk out of the Central Library. It was once over the doorway at the newspaper offices of the Brooklyn Eagle. You can see it in a photo here.

Historic Photos of Brooklyn

Professor John B. Manbeck was on hand at the Central Library to give a talk on his history books about Brooklyn including Historic Photos of Brookyn. I think I noticed from a photo of the old Brooklyn Eagle newspaper building that the eagle in the library lobby (above the doors) is from the Brooklyn Eagle. I should have headed back in to ask, but the sunset was enticing. Link to the book
