Purchase Building

The Purchase Building was a modernist structure that was built under the Brooklyn side span of the Brooklyn Bridge in the 1930s. It was originally a warehouse for the city Department of Purchase and served as a warehouse for other city agencies before being demolished in the spring of 2008 to make way for a piazza addition to Brooklyn Bridge Park.
