Brooklyn Union Gas Company Headquarters
The Brooklyn Union Gas Company Headquarters, also known as 180 Remsen Street, and since 1962 the St. Francis College Arts Building, is an historic building in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. Designed by Brooklyn architect Frank Freeman and completed in 1914, it was designated a New York City landmark in 2011.
==History==
The Brooklyn Union Gas Company was originally established in 1825 as the Brooklyn Gas Light Company, changing its name after a series of mergers in 1895. Rapid growth in the early 1900s prompted the company to establish a new headquarters at 180 Remsen Street. Noted Brooklyn architect Frank Freeman was commissioned to design the new headquarters, which was built in 1914.〔("Former Brooklyn Union Gas Bldg. Considered for Landmarking" ), by Linda Collins, ''Brooklyn Daily Eagle'', 2009-02-24.〕
The Gas Company continued to occupy the building for the next 47 years. In 1962, it was sold and became the St. Francis College Arts Building.〔 In May 2009, the Landmarks Preservation Committee voted in support of designating the building a New York landmark.〔("CB2 Round-up" ), ''Brooklyn Daily Eagle'', 2009-05-15.〕 It was approved on May 10, 2011.〔(Brownstoner.com )〕
