Location

The Brooklyn House of Detention is located on the block between Atlantic Avenue and State Street, and between Smith Street and Brooklyn Bridge Boulevard.






 Standing as it does at the entrance to the historic Brooklyn Bridge, this location has been called the
Gateway to Brooklyn.
    
 
The Brooklyn House of Detention is located at the intersection of vibrant residential neighborhoods: the
brownstones of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, and Boerum Hill, and the newly resurgent Downtown Brooklyn.
