Daniel Steiner emphasizes that the original design of Gravesend's street grid, created in 1645 by Lady Deborah Moody, was revolutionary for its time, featuring a unique four-square layout with public spaces and radiating boundaries for farms.
Steiner notes that despite its historical significance, the original public square and grid layout in Gravesend have been completely integrated into modern Brooklyn, often unrecognized by today's city dwellers and commuters.
