636 Pacific Street is history

formerly 636 Pacific Street near 6th Avenue

Prospect Heights

Brooklyn, New York

Today is the day that 636 Pacific Street ceased to exist. Now all of the buildings that used to stand in the footprint of the Barclays Center Arena (the blocks bounded by Flatbush Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, 6th Avenue and Dean Street) have been demolished.

The Barclays Center is the first of possibly 17 buildings for the 22-acre Atlantic Yards project by Forest City Ratner.
