What was here before?

The area once belonged to Jamaica Bay, which featured numerous piers, clubs, and private homes along its coast. The Jamaica Bay Yacht Club (JBYC) was a prominent establishment founded in 1891. In 1893, JBYC bought the old Wyckoff manor and brought the structure by boat to a pier off 90th Street from Brooklyn. The JBYC became the largest structure in the bay and was famous for its boat races, enjoying great prosperity.
