What is usually an outdoors affair, Brooklyn Flea will be shifting to an indoors facility come January 9th. Destination: One Hanson Place, or the Williamsburg Savings Bank Tower, in Fort Green, Brooklyn. The space is a landmarked building that houses vaulted ceilings and tiled murals, as well as visual remnants of a bank, such as kiosks, teller rooms, and even a vault with three-ton doors. Only fitting it houses a well-known marketplace for trading vintage goods. “It’s a really amazing space that hasn’t been open to the public for a really long time,” says Brooklyn Flea founder Eric Demby. “I think it’s one of the most beautiful and historic interior spaces in Brooklyn.” The location allows for more than 100 vendors to operate, including food (Demby wants to have the eating area inside the vault). And the larger floor area makes it seem “more like the regular flea,” he adds, only it’s inside.
The Brooklyn Flea will be at One Hanson Place every weekend from January 9th ’til the end of March. (via The Cut)
