Bartlett Elevators Free Ware Houses Bonded

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dated around 1880, showcases the impressive E.B. Bartlett & Co. free and bonded warehouses and elevators located in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The image offers a glimpse into the bustling industrial activity of the time, with the towering structures dominating the waterfront landscape. Free and bonded warehouses were essential components of the international trade system during the late 19th century. Merchants could store their imported goods in these facilities without paying customs duties until they were ready to sell them in the domestic market. This system allowed businesses to take advantage of price differences between international markets and helped to fuel economic growth. Bartlett & Greene's warehouses were particularly noteworthy due to their advanced use of elevators. The inclusion of these structures allowed for the efficient loading and unloading of goods from ships, reducing the need for labor-intensive manual labor. The use of elevators also enabled the warehouses to store goods multiple stories high, maximizing storage capacity in a limited waterfront space. The print's intricate details reveal the architectural sophistication of the warehouses, with their red brick facades, large arched windows, and ornate cornices. The presence of the American flag atop the Bartlett & Co. building is a testament to the company's patriotism and commitment to the international trade system. This print offers a window into the past, providing a glimpse into the industrial might and innovation that defined New York City during the late 19th century.
