Bush Terminal Company, Between Second & Third Avenues from Thirty-ninth to Fiftieth Streets, Brooklyn, Kings County, NY

Significance: Bush Terminal was the first American example of completely integrated manufacturing and warehousing facilities, served by both rail and water transportation, under a unified management. It was the largest multi-tenant industrial property in the United States. Largely intact today, it remains the largest unified non-railroad terminal ever built in the Port of New York, and retains a rare survival of an isolated urban freight railroad served only by transfer bridge.
