Brooklyn Navy Yard's Sands Street entrance with its crenelated gatehouses, early 1900s. It looked the same in the 1930s and 40s. It has recently been restored, but the eagles are gone. See 120 Years of the Brooklyn Navy Yard's Medieval-Style Sands Street Entrance at brownstoner.com (for as long as the link lasts).
