Jane's Carousel was crafted by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company and was originally installed in Youngstown, Ohio, before being restored and relocated to Brooklyn.
The carousel underwent a meticulous 22-year restoration by Jane Walentas, who personally stripped layers of paint to reveal the original carvings and colors.
The carousel is encased in a stunning glass pavilion designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, offering panoramic views of the East River and Manhattan skyline.
Jane's Carousel is situated in Brooklyn Bridge Park, providing a picturesque setting between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.
The carousel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing its historical and cultural significance.
The carousel features 48 intricately carved wooden horses and two chariots, each restored to its original splendor.
The carousel was generously donated by Jane and David Walentas, who played a pivotal role in its restoration and preservation.
