Spite Church to be torn down in Brooklyn history lesson
Brooklyn's famous Spite Church on Lenox Road near Flatbush Avenue faces demolition. Built to block a saloon, the tiny 15 by 60 foot structure held about 60 people and sparked a court dispute over its legitimacy as a church. The Park Side congregation later used it as an annex but residents welcome its removal. Gladys Moore Vanderbilt birthday ties to a 14 million inheritance from Cornelius Vanderbilt’s estate. The Breakers in Newport will host the event as Miss Vanderbilt becomes legally of age.
