The view from Domino Sugar Factory was on full display yesterday, as it was opened up to the public.
The factory was built back in 1884 and at its peak produced nearly three-million pounds of sugar each day.
The Landmark Preservation Commission designated the Williamsburg refinery as a landmark last year.
Redevelopment in the area includes an esplanade along the East River. Construction of residential buildings and the renovation of the historic Domino Sugar Factory buildings could begin next fall.
