Photo Finish: Fifty Nine Years Of Season’s Greetings

Via the Brooklyn Historical Society:

This Photo of the Week depicts a holiday display above the Williamsburgh Savings Bank entrance at One Hanson Place, sometime around 1956. This photograph comes from the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Building photograph and architectural drawings collection, which consists of photographs and architectural drawings spanning the years 1888 to 2001 that document the construction and daily life of the building, located in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn.

No other month offers such a range of festivity and celebrations as December. Whatever you’re celebrating this holiday season, we wish you a safe, happy, and festive December!
