Read the true story of Conrad and Augusta, leaders in the transformation of the middle of Brooklyn, New York, from farmland into Vanderveer Park. Vanderveer Park was a real estate development whose name and whereabouts were familiar to all who lived in Brooklyn at the beginning of the twentieth century. Vanderveer Park and its sister development, Bay View Heights, included most of the area between Cortelyou Road and Kings Highway and between Flatbush Avenue and Troy Avenue. Conrad and Augusta began their lives in Germany when the Civil War was raging in America. They moved to Brooklyn where they married, built over fifty homes in just one year, and raised a family of nine children. Enjoy an epic story, filled with old photographs and other illustrations, of a family whose mark is still present in Brooklyn.The first chapter and several charts were revised in this second edition to improve readability. Also, this new edition contains additional photographs and updated information about Conrad’s Bordfeld and Haneke relatives.
