	Brooklyn Navy Yard (1)
		The commandant's house, oldest structure in the yard, built in 1807, is near the foot of Navy Street at the river.
		Brooklyn Navy Yard is also associated with the early days of the steamboat: the Fulton was constructed here in 1814-15 from the inventor's plans.
		The Navy Yard District, spreading south and west of the yard from the East River, is a shapeless grotesque neighborhood, its grimy cobblestone thoroughfares filled with flophouses, crumbling tenements and greasy restaurants.

		But for Rep. Major Owens and opponents of the plan to build a basketball arena in Downtown Brooklyn, the expansion announcement was taken as another slap in the face toward their plan to instead build the future home of the New Jersey Nets on the Navy Yard’s grounds.
		Looking at the Navy Yard from the outside, most New Yorkers would assume it to be nothing more than a vacant lot ravished by thickets of untamed foliage and years of disrepair.
		Owens is not the first to eye the Navy Yard as a potential site for development, nor is he likely to be the last in a long parade of community activists and city officials who believe that the Navy Yard is the perfect place to tuck away unwanted public facilities, Deutsch remarked.
