Montrose Morris

Biography

Montrose Morris cultivated a reputation as a businessman and landowner whose efforts helped shape the neighborhoods of his beloved Brooklyn, investing in enduring streetscapes and thoughtful stewardship of land from his birth in 1861 through the turn of the century.

He remained committed to civic life until his passing in 1916, and the quietude of Green-Wood Cemetery now holds his memory alongside the families and vitality he served.
