The Poppenhusen Institute rises five stories tall at 114-04 14th Road, featuring Victorian architectural elements with stern proportions and detailed woodwork.
German immigrant Conrad Poppenhusen established this institute in 1868 with a donation of 100,000 dollars to create an educational center for the local community.
