Reply to comment by Niek_pas in 24 Middagh Street, Brooklyn Heights, New York. (1925 vs. today) by libananahammock

Middagh is the family name of one of the old colonial families that settled in that area of Brooklyn. The Middagh family laid out the streets in this corner of Brooklyn Heights and named one (really two, but the other one was changed to Henry St.) after their family.
