1891, of the baseball team eventually known as the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Today, in addition to celebrating its Revolutionary, sports, and agricultural heritage, the Old Stone House presents musical and theater performances, crafts and fitness classes, children’s activities, and other cultural and social events.
Exit the park on 3rd Street and go left. As you near 3rd Avenue, the Old American Can Factory is on your left. This complex of six adjoining buildings constructed between 1865 and 1901 is yet another home for artists and creative businesses. These tenants are “curated”—interviewed and specially selected by the landlord. How about the artistry outside? The corner building especially is striking, with diamond-shaped windows facing 3rd Avenue.
Go to the right on 3rd Avenue but only as far as the whitish wall on your right. This is a remnant of the outfield wall of the second Washington Park, built for the Dodgers in 1898 by their new owner, Charles Ebbets, who’d started working for the club as a ticket taker. The Dodgers played at this park until they moved to Ebbets Field in 1913.
