110 used to be a Tiller into the early '80s.....when I was a FF in R*2 while we were still on Carlton Ave before SOC we were in BN*31....often I was detailed to both 110 & 118 to drive & or Tiller....it was a big difference driving around the small streets of BKLYN Height's after 110 got the Rearmount.

Another Brooklyn Heights Guy here. Brooklyn Union Gas Company Headquarters was 195 Montague Street. I reported to work there from 1973 to 1990. In 1990 we moved to One Metrotech Center. I had a lot of great meals and drinks along Montague Street.

Wasn’t an old Brooklyn union gas building sold to St Francis College to use as their main building @ 180 Remsen Street? maybe RayBrag knows.

Montague Street as you said is a nice block or two strip of brownstones and stores/restaurants. Like a Main Street in a small town in that neighborhood. From court Street (BK borough hall building) to the promenade and east river facing lower Manhattan.

Yes. I’m pretty sure that BUG moved out of 180 Remsen St. in 1960. They were on Montague from 1960 to 1990.

Yes, the Brooklyn Union Gas building was at 180 Remsen St., and was sold to St Francis College some time around 1960-61. I spent most of my last year at St. Francis in 62-63, and the building had been completely renovated by then. But the old site, at 35 Butler St. was still used for all of the science classes & labs . . . I don't know when they moved them (I graduated in '63). Before they moved to Remsen, the college rented space in a building on Court Street (somewhere around 24 Court St.), where the School of Business was. It also had the largest classroom in the college, which was used for the really popular courses. It was a real trick to get from the Butler St. campus to the Court St. building in the 10 minutes between classes . . . you had to RUN. God help you if the instructor you had at Butler held the class over for even 2 minutes . . . or if the traffic on Atlantic Ave. was heavy.

St. Francis College is moving to 181 Livingston Street, a couple of blocks from the old FDNY Headquarters at 250 Livingston Street.
