ERIC RICHMOND has been a fan of Brooklyn history since he first appeared on
3rd Place in Carroll Gardens in 1988. The more he looked, the more he
learned and the more he respected the talents, drive, and vision of those
that built a city into a national powerhouse of business, art, sports,
culture, and industry.
The Brooklyn Lyceum (a.k.a. Public Bath #7) is his contribution to polishing
up that historical luster.
