St. Stephen & St. Martin Episcopal Church
809 Jefferson Avenue at Patchen Avenue
Brooklyn, N.Y. 11221
St. Stephen's Protestant Episcopal Church was started about 1867 as a mission on Fulton Street. The society later relocated to Gates Avenue near Ralph Avenue where a small edifice with seating accomodations for 300 was erected. Another move took the church to its present location on Jefferson Avenue at Patchen Avenue where a wooden building was erected. At some point, St. Martin Episcopal Church, located at 293 President Street, merged into St. Stephen and the consolidated congregation was renamed St. Stephen and St. Martin Episcopal Church. |
