This site is dedicated to the collection and preservation of the history of the The St. George Tower in Brooklyn Heights, New York. If one-in-eight Americans trace their family history through Brooklyn, then many family memories are also traced to the 17 ballrooms, the many themed restaurants, and world famous indoor saltwater pool.

Located next to the Brooklyn Bridge, and directly across the East River from lower Manhattan, Wall Street, and the former World Trade Center, the St. George is in many ways a central part of New York that only New Yorkers truly understand. What secret story have you never told that had the St. George as the back drop? The tower was built in 1929. Do you remember the heady days leading up to the [first] crash? Were you one of the gin-soaked jazz babies who danced to a full orchestra at the "Egyptian" nightclub under the stars on the tower roof? Perhaps it was later. The 40s and the war? Or the 50s, 60s, ...right through to today with the vitality of a dorm full of grad students and family- and pet-friendly luxury co-ops?

Others share your memories. Come share yours.
