Locations

  • Earliest meeting site -
    • (1814) - Home of Oziah Brainard.
  • Next meeting site -
    • (between 1814 and 1827) - Northeast corner of West 25th Street and Denison Ave. at the Brooklyn Town Hall which was nothing more than a log cabin
  • Church building #1 -
    • (1827) - Northeast corner of West 25th Street and Denison Ave.. First permanent home of the church was a frame building built in front of the log cabin.
  • Church building #2 -
    • (1848) - Frame building which in 1882 was destroyed by fire.
A news article found for a large fire on March 23, 1886[1] that caused the steeple to collapse. The building was not insured. Had it already been abandoned by the time of the 1886 fire, or is the 1882 date a mistake?
