157 St Paul's Pl
1900-02, Herbert R. Brewster

The first Protestant Episcopal congregation in Flatbush was established in 1836, building their first church on land donated by prominent English resident Matthew Clarkson. The simple wooden structure was maintained for over 60 years until it was replaced by the current Gothic Revival building. The brick structure features two crenelated towers joined by a Sunday school building, all in gray granite trimmed with Indiana limestone. It was designed by local architect Herbert R. Brewster, who had recently won a competition for the design of the now-demolished St. James Protestant Episcopal Church, at the corner of St. James Place and Lafayette Avenue. Brewster would later specialize in the design of theaters, building several in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Connecticut. Also known as St. Paul's Church in the Village of Flatbush, the church remains a staple for the community, hosting a variety of activities like the Little Caribbean Town Hall.
