"Walt Whitman lived in many places around Brooklyn but this is the last building still standing. He lived here for several years while writing Leaves of Grass. The building has lost it’s luster with a modern day layer of metal siding, but it’s still the very home of one of american’s famous poets." - Adam Brodowski & Clara Bunker
