Historic Heights: Edition 003 Is Here

Another week, another five trips back in time. Edition 003 of Historic Heights is live.

If you haven't played yet: each edition gives you five historic photographs of Brooklyn Heights from the New York Public Library's collections. Study the buildings, the street, the little details — then drop a pin on the map where you think the photographer was standing.

How it works

• Five rounds, one map. Tap or click the map to place your guess, then lock it in.
• Up to 1,000 points per round. The closer your pin, the higher your score, for a top score of 5,000.
• See how close you were. After each guess you'll see your pin and the real spot side by side, plus a Street View of the place today.
• Learn a little history. Every round reveals the address, the year of the photo and a short, sourced history of the building.
• Share your score. When you finish, share your result with friends without giving away any answers.

This week's set spans the 1920s and 1930s — a few familiar blocks that look surprisingly different, and one sweeping rooftop view of the waterfront that takes some real neighborhood knowledge to place.
