The old Jehovah’s Witnesses headquarters in Brooklyn Heights now has 11 lush gardens. We’ve got photos.
‘When that Watchtower sign comes down, what will be the building’s identity?’
It’s a blooming miracle.
At the fortress-like compound that was the world headquarters of the Jehovah’s Witnesses for almost half a century, flowering trees will burst forth with blossoms when spring arrives. Purple perennials will show their true colors. Passersby will be able to see Mother Nature put on a show at the formerly closed-off complex.
This is the work of landscape architecture firm Terrain-NYC, which tore down an eight-foot wall that hid the Brooklyn Heights property from residents and tourists strolling down the street to nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park.
