Strober Brothers Gone!

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle informs us that the large lumber and building supplies company that one could see down on Pier 3 from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade has disappeared (not actually without a trace, but to Greenpoint):

"Without so much as a 'Bob’s your uncle,' the Strober Brothers Organization, a large building supplies company, has moved from Pier 3 beneath Brooklyn Heights to 11 West Street in Greenpoint. This move was officially completed on Tuesday, March 27, and pretty much completes the removal of tenants from Piers 1 to 6, the site where most of Brooklyn Bridge Park will be constructed...."

So sad...Loved Strober Brothers. Nick was amazing and is missed by the industry.

Agreed! Strober Brothers was a staple in Brooklyn and just as Nick is missed, Strober on Pier 3 will be too.

No more Strober...it's now ProBuild. The old days of dealing with a local company are gone. Strober is missed and agreed...Nicky was the best! He knew how to take care of his customers.
