While perusing the archives of Forgotten NY, we came across this photo of the Flatbush Reformed Church Parsonage. It’s a looker, to be sure, but we wish there’d been a little more info on it. A Google search turns up one reference to the Flatbush Dutch Reformed Church at 890 Flatbush Avenue, originally constructed in 1654 by order of Peter Stuyvesant. If anything, though, we suspect that is the church that may have once sat alongside the parsonnage.

I spent a week doing service projects with my church at Flatbush Reformed a couple years ago. The parsonage sits on the the church grounds with the church building, a Sunday school/education building and a cemetery. The church was founded in 1654 and is still active today on the corners of Flatbush Ave and Church Ave in Flatbush, Brooklyn. The parsonage itself is no longer occupied by the pastor but is used as a building that provides services to single mothers.
