Remembering the Underberg
Muckraked! rounds up locals reminiscing about the Underberg building online:
The first building to go - brick by brick - is the Underberg Building, named for Samuel Underberg’s kitchen and grocery supply company, which sits on a roughly triangular plot of land at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Flatbush Avenue. (Photo credit: Curbed.com) The hulking structure was immortalized in Jonathan Lethem’s 2003 bestseller “Fortress of Solitude.”Ratner hopes to turn the site into a public plaza at the heart of his 22-acre residential and commercial complex, which includes the Nets basketball arena.
