On Prospect Park is a condominium building in Brooklyn, New York.  Richard Meier, the architect behind the building, intended for the building to enhance the relationship between modern New York City and the rich history of Brooklyn. On Prospect Park was constructed between 2003-2009. The building is named because, well, it’s right on top of Prospect Park. Prospect Park is a public park that broke ground in 1867. It is the second largest park in Brooklyn and is home to the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The glass building  also overlooks Grand Army Plaza, which was the site of the Battle of Long Island during the Revolutionary War. The battle was the first major conflict after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
