September 30, 2021 Building series: former Bais Yaakov seminary
Site: former Bais Yaakov Seminary
Address: 143 South 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
The other day I told the story of the Eastern District High School, which began as a popular public school and is now a Satmar girls’ school. Today’s building story is a different tale: it is best remembered as the former home of the first seminary in America, but it is now a hipster apartment building.
