Domino Sugar Refinery, Industrial landmark in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, United States
The Domino Sugar Refinery spans 90,000 square feet along the East River waterfront, featuring brick buildings and a distinctive smokestack from its 1882 reconstruction.
Following its establishment in 1856, the facility became the largest sugar refinery globally during the Civil War era, processing three million pounds of sugar daily.
The refinery represents Brooklyn's industrial evolution, transforming from a major sugar processing facility into a mixed-use development while maintaining its architectural elements.
Visitors can reach the refinery via the L train to Bedford Avenue, G train to Metropolitan, or JMZ trains to Marcy Avenue, followed by a 15-minute walk.
The facility employed 4,000 workers at its peak and processed more than half of the total sugar consumption in the United States during the 1800s.
