A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
by Betty Smith (1943)
702 Grand St, Williamsburg
Betty Smith lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and the neighborhood's tenements, stoops, and scrappy tree of heaven became the soul of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Her home at 702 Grand Street places readers in the heart of Francie Nolan's world.
