About Bushwick
What are the main landmarks in Bushwick?
Bushwick's list runs mostly to houses of worship. South Bushwick Reformed Church, Christ Evangelical English Lutheran Church, and Immanuel Congregational Church stand within the same few streets, and the Bushwick Avenue Central Methodist Episcopal Church adds a fourth to the row. St. Barbara's Church anchors the group.
Away from the pulpits, Microscope Gallery keeps a contemporary programme, and the Peter P. and Rosa M. Huberty House survives as a piece of the district's older domestic building, with Ridgewood Park just over the northeastern edge.
What is the history of Bushwick?
Congregations wrote most of Bushwick's record. South Bushwick Reformed Church, Christ Evangelical English Lutheran Church, and Immanuel Congregational Church stand as the district's named public buildings, spread along the avenues that run down from Williamsburg toward Bedford-Stuyvesant. The boundaries did the rest.
Ridgewood and Queens took the northeastern side, the cemeteries of Highland Park closed the southeast, and what was left is the Bushwick that visitors walk through, church by church.
