Brooklyn Bridge as seen from the Fulton Ferry Grand Terminal, ca. 1889.

During the winter of 1866 the east river waters froze making it impossible to cross via ferry. This, coupled with dangerous overcrowding, made the construction of the bridge a necessity.

Following the completion of the bridge, in 1883, ridership of the ferry declined until operation stopped altogether in 1924 and in 1926 the building was demolished.
