Finally finished the town of Fort Greene.  Except for a few minor details to be added later.

Fort Greene is the neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY where I went to high school in the early 1960's therefore the street scene is my rendition, with artist liberties, of DeKalb Avenue in Fort Greene during that time period.

I would walk along DeKalb Avenue from the subway station to Brooklyn Technical High School which is across from Fort Greene Park.  I could not find a structure that even closely resembled the high school so it is not part of the layout.

The park was the sight of Fort Putnam, established by General Nathaniel Greene during the Revolutionary War.  It is also one of the sights of the Battle of Long Island.

The monument in the park was 3-D printed by Carl and is an outstanding replica of the actual Prison Ship Martyrs Monument that has been in Fort Greene Park since 1908.
