Brooklyn: Orange Street - Henry Street

Orange Street, north side, between Henry and Hicks Streets, showing the Plymouth Church, from which the well-known Brooklyn preacher Henry Ward Beecher delivered his sermons. The church was built in 1849 and a brass plate on one of the pews indicates where Abrsham Lincoln, friend of the minister, sat to henr his sermons. The edifice extends through to Cranberry Street, one block to the north, and views of that side of the building can be found in the Cranberry Street file. The views (except 3) are east from Hicks Street. For additional data see "The New York Times," October 5, 1940. Views 1,2,3: 1925 Eugene L. Armbruster View 4: June 11, 1927 P. L. Sperr
