South Bushwick Reformed Church
South Bushwick Reformed Church, 1852 Reformed church in Bushwick, Brooklyn, United States
South Bushwick Reformed Church is a house of worship in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood built in the mid-1800s with Neoclassical and Greek Revival design. The structure features fluted Ionic columns supporting its front portico and topped by an octagonal spire rising from a square tower base.
Members separated from the original Bushwick Reformed Church in 1851, a congregation with roots extending back to 1654, and soon after constructed this building. The structure became the centerpiece of a growing congregation in the expanding neighborhood.
The building represents the Dutch Reformed tradition that remains active in Brooklyn through regular worship and community gatherings that continue today. The congregation uses the space for religious celebrations and neighborhood events that connect residents across generations.
The entrance sits on Bushwick Avenue and the church welcomes visitors during Sunday morning worship times. To see inside, plan your visit for these service hours or contact ahead, as the building serves the active congregation's regular needs.
The first pastor of this congregation left such a strong mark on the area that nearby Himrod Street was named in his honor. The street remains today as a lasting reminder of his influence on Bushwick's early development.
