Lost Battalion Hall Recreation Center

The property's history sign carries NYC Parks' account of the neighborhood's naming: "Once farmland, the area had only one road, called Remsen's Lane. Chinese farmers worked the soil in an exclusive enclave, selling produce only to Chinatown. In the 1920s, the Real Good Construction bought out these farms and built one-family row houses, multi-family homes, and apartment buildings. Developers Henry Schloh and Charles Hausmann named the area in 1923, taking the first two letters from the first two words in the Real Good Construction Company's name."
