[edit] Error

The above summary has one error. The last sentence SHOULD read that the historic district is bounded roughly by President St. to the north, Carroll St. to the south, Hoyt St. to the east, and Smith St.* to the west.

(I'd say Henry St., or at least Clinton since it has the funeral home)

I would like to add the Carroll Gardens is bounded by Degraw St per the markings on the street signs.

I would add that Carroll Gardens was in the late-19th and early 20th century home to many Norwegian immigrants and that the Norwegian Seamen's Church, located on the corner of Clinton Street and First Place, is a local landmark and was once visited by the King of Norway. Also, until the mid-nineteen sixties, the area now known as Carroll Gardens was considered to be part of Red Hook. The name change came about during the gentrification of the area by Manhattanites in the sixties and early seventies.

[edit] V&R?

I'm born and raised Carroll Gardens, and while V&R makes a perfectly nice slice of pizza, it's not exactly a landmark. I'm taking it off the page. (Nice try for the free plug, though.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by HandsomeSam57 (talk • contribs) 19:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
