Speaking of churches, I saved the best sacred space for last the fabulous Victorian pile that is now the Hebron Seventh Day Adventist School, but was built as the Brooklyn Methodist Church Home, in 1899, a massive complex of buildings on a huge lot, that look like something out of a Dickens novel, with a very asylum like atmosphere, and a beautiful chapel on the side. I am very glad that landmarking of this entire area will soon occur, and this large complex will be preserved and not torn down for new construction.
This is my block. The Hebron SDA School, formerly the Methodist Episcopalian Home, takes up roughly half the block from New York Ave between Sterling and Park Place (my street).
Great to come home to Brooklyn from a week away and see all this Crown Heights stuff on Brownstoner.
I’ve never had the nerve to ask if I could have a tour, so I don’t know if they would give one, but it they ever do have a public opening, and I know about it, I will share!
I’ve wanted to see inside for years! Ever since I stumbled upon it years and years ago.
I adore this place! It’s like a time capsule.
One of my favorite drive-bys to and from the Children’s Museum.
