The Farragut Houses are located in what used to be a heavily industrial area, near the Brooklyn Navy Yard.[4] The site was occupied by 341 lots by 1941, of which 27 were vacant. Of the 314 lots that were extant, 198 consisted of wood structures.[5] Wooden buildings were rarely built after the Great Fire of New York in 1835, and brick became the popular building material around the 1870s, so these structures were likely more than a century old.
