About This Cause
PS 8, also known as The Emily Warren Roebling School. The school was opened in 1846 at 65 Middagh Street, between Hicks and Henry Streets (now marked with a brass plaque). As the population of Brooklyn boomed in the late nineteenth century, the school outgrew its building and construction began on the current red-brick building, which opened in 1906. Previously, the address was the residence of John A. Roebling, chief engineer and principal designer of the Brooklyn Bridge. Recent growth in student enrollment once again necessitated a larger facility, so in 2009 construction began on an addition to the 1906 building; the addition opened for the 2011-12 school year.
