Gardens of Flatbush back before they built the big Sears Roebuck store. Flatbush is part of Brooklyn, a borough of New York City. These images are from 1908; I’m not sure how accurate they are. My mother was a baby in a different part of Brooklyn but they moved long before she could have remember the neighbors’ flower beds.
