Montague-Court Building, Renaissance Revival skyscraper in Downtown Brooklyn, United States.
The Montague-Court Building is a Renaissance Revival commercial structure in downtown Brooklyn with 35 floors. Its exterior displays elaborate architectural details rendered in limestone and terracotta.
Construction was completed in 1927 by architect H. Craig Severance, marking a turning point in Brooklyn's urban development. The building was later surpassed in height by other structures but remained a key landmark of its building era.
The building shapes downtown Brooklyn's appearance with its elaborate limestone and terracotta facades decorated with ornamental details. These features reflect the prosperity the city experienced in the 1920s.
The building is located at 16 Court Street within walking distance of multiple subway stations. The neighborhood is well connected by public transit and easy to explore on foot.
Upon completion, the structure was the tallest dedicated office building in Brooklyn and retained this distinction for many years. Today it remains a notable example of early twentieth-century commercial architecture in the region.
