The St. George Building at the intersection of Beekman and Cliff Streets was built as a warehouse in 1870, one year after construction began on the nearby Brooklyn Bridge. The building was named after a succession of churches that had occupied the site from 1752 to 1868. Lyon made a series of images showing the progress of the warehouse’s demolition. Today, not even the intersection remains. In 1971 it was subsumed into a cooperative apartment complex consisting of four 27-story buildings that still occupy the site.
