Labeled "Service and comfort station at Shore Road Park in Brooklyn,
architect Aymar Embury II, series 375, exhibit V, approved September 12,
1939," the drawing above is signed by Embury himself. The one at left is
clearly also by him. These are plans for small buildings along the west
side of Shore Road in Brooklyn, which runs along Shore Road Park from the
Verazzano Narrows Bridge north for two miles. In fact two comfort stations
from that era are found in Shore Road Park, near the road, which are shown
in the second and third insets (from Google Street View). They don't match
the drawings exactly but there is a resemblence. If Embury designed
two comfort stations for Shore Road Park, and it has two comfort stations of
the right age, they must be Embury's and we just haven't seen the
documentation or final drawings.
