History
- Originally organized in 1819 by missionaries of the Presbyterian Church, on Newburgh St. (later known as Denison Avenue). In 1834, it was organized as the First Congregational Church.
- "A town meetinghouse and members' homes were used for services until a building reportedly was built near the corner of W. 25th St. and Willowdale Ave., in use by 1830. The BROOKLYN congregation finally chose between the denominations and in 1831 incorporated as the First Congregational Society of Brooklyn. In 1851 the frame building was moved to the corner of Liberty (W. 33rd) and Newburgh (Denison Ave.) streets. In 1879 a new brick building of Late Gothic style was built on the north side of Greenwood (Archwood) Ave. Outgrown and in disrepair by the 1920s, a new building, designed by Daniel Farnham in the Colonial Revival style, was dedicated on the site in 1929."
- AKA - Archwood United Church of Christ
- The church sanctuary was designed by Daniel H. Farnam in 1929.
