Batterman's Department Store
This was located on Flushing Ave and Broadway in East Williamsburg.
BATTERMAN'S Dry Goods Store. Henry BATTERMAN was orginally at the junction of Broadway & Manhattan. When he moved his store to the junction of Broadway, Graham & Flushing, his brother William opened a carpet store in the older building.
The Bushwick and East Bushwick Dispensary was incorporated in 1878. In 1880 it was located on Myrtle near Throop Avenue. A new building known as Laura F. BATTERMAN Memorial, at Lewis Avenue, across the road from the site of the David MILLS house.
The Batterman history is very interesting. Henry Batterman was a forerunner of the area.

What a nice site.
CityGirl:-)
Thank you City Girl.
Great photo, but which corner of the intersection is this on? When did store close, and were the "el" train tracks not yet constructed?
Re-read the listing & just noticed the "el" tracks.
Great photo! Do we have the actual address of the store? Is the view that we're looking from Graham Ave?
Thanks!
Batterman was my great grandfather.
