I'm not from New York but I do see the historical value in this stack. I mean it says "Vitagraph" right down the side.

There is nothing they could replace the Vitagraph Smokestack with that would be nearly as significant or as vital as what this monument represents.

The Vitagraph smokestack is 105 years old. I have two photos taken in 1908 and 1909 on Locust Avenue. The Vitagraph Studios are visible in both. However, the smokestack first appears in the 1909 picture. Any way I can help, you may contact me. I am the official historian for the Borough of Brooklyn, appointed by the Borough President. Contact me at [email protected].
