Brooklyn: Cranberry Street - Henry Street

Cranberry Street, south side, between Henry and Hicks Streets, showing the old Plymouth Church, built in 1849, from which Henry Ward Beecher preached his sermons. A brass plate in the church marks the pew where Abraham Lincoln, who was a personal friend of the Brooklyn preacher, sat to hear his sermons. The edifice extends through to Orange Street. See Orange Street file for other views and "The New York Times," October 5, 1940, for additional data. 1922 Views 1,2 Eugene L. Armbruster Collection
