The main courthouse, located at 225 Cadman Plaza East, is in the civic center of Brooklyn and is directly adjacent to Brooklyn Heights, the first Historic District named as such in the City of New York. Only a short distance from the courthouse's current location is the site of Gen. George Washington's escape to Manhattan during the American Revolution, an escape that ensured a later victory for his army. Cadman Plaza, itself was named after Samuel Parkes Cadman, a popular Brooklyn Minister in the early twentieth century who was one of the first to use radio as means to reach his audience.
