No signage to suggest what it's being used for, and the guy on Forgotten NY has not yet gotten that far up Bedford. I'm interested in (a) what the building currently serves as, and (b) why and when it was originally built. <br> <br> Does it have a name? Any info you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks! post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.88645 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 08:53:02 -0800 brina brooklyn architecture brooklynhistory http://ask.metafilter.com/88645/Name-that-castle#1304179 It's the old armory building. <a href="http://jimmyt.buzznet.com/user/photos/?id=14642341">First result </a>for "building turrets bedford atlantic" in Google. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.88645-1304179 Sun, 13 Apr 2008 08:57:45 -0800 saladin http://ask.metafilter.com/88645/Name-that-castle#1304181 Hah.
