Between 1860 and 1939, Brooklyn grew into a major center of industry within the Port of New York. Its rich network of warehouses and factories form a series of intricate streetscapes dictated by the necessities of production. This dissertation uses these buildings as a case study to evaluate the impact of industry on the urban landscape, the forces driving the creation of a distinctive place, and the role played by American industry in forging a new approach to architectural design. In Brooklyn, industrial production yielded several discrete landscapes whose appearances derived from the particular demands of production, technology, and transportation infrastructure. This study begins in Red Hook, whose low-rise blocks of brick storehouses reflected the dominance of the storage industry as well as the building technology available to nineteenth century developers. It continues in the Eastern District, where sustained industrial growth by a variety of companies yielded a complex pattern of land use. Finally, this study ends in Sunset Park, whose blocks of large-scale reinforced concrete factories spoke to methods of scientific management and industrial efficiency prevalent at the dawn of the machine age.

520 $a Brooklyn's factories and warehouses reflected broader developments in design within American architectural discourse at a time when American architects struggled to find formal expression for new industrial building types. The significance of these works extended across the Atlantic, where European architects took them as models in formulating new theories of architecture. But the fetishization of American factories by the early modernists meant that their industrial context was usually left behind. The function and placement of industrial buildings within the urban fabric was ignored, though the urban layout testified to the same modern principles of efficiency and engineering that attracted the early modernists to industrial buildings in the first place. Brooklyn's stratified industrial landscape reveals a stylistic progression of industrial architecture, presenting a unique opportunity to analyze the American industrial vernacular landscape and find a place for it in within the narrative of modern architectural history.
