The complex dates to the early 20th century and occupies an entire blockfront at 2840 Atlantic Avenue.

The two buildings together prominently occupy a full block face along Atlantic Avenue. Landmarks staff undertook a survey of the neighborhood to complement the proposed rezoning of East New York. The two buildings in the dairy complex were determined to be the most architecturally and historically significant in the area. (read more…)
