An Ante Revolutionary Parsonage Torn Down in Flatbush
The oldest parsonage in Kings County, a Dutch colonial house built around 1700 on Flatbush Avenue, was demolished. It stood along the old east road, near Vernon Avenue, and was tied to the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Flatbush. The structure housed ministers, linked to disputes between Cartus and Conferentie parties, and later served varied uses before decay. Major Gustave A. Jahn bought the property for 7500 dollars to create a lawn and stables, preserving few remnants of its Dutch timber and Holland bricks.
