Brooklyn Church

Sometimes I come across buildings in New York that somehow look like they could belong somewhere else. I liked the architecture of this catholic church in Brooklyn. Unfortunately I don't remember the name of it. It was closed that day, so no pictures from the inside.

Church of the Anunciation, in Williamsburg - (North Side) on North 5th Street between Havemeyer & Metropolitan Ave.

Although my father grew up in that neighborhood, his family went to another church, St. Vincent DePaul. The North Side has seen tremendous change and growth over the past decade. Can't say I recognized the church though, as upon his marriage to a Jersey girl, my dad settled there! The N. 5th street sign provided a clue - A bit of extra fun trying to ID some of your locations!

Ps. In my random search for the ID, I also found an interesting blog about my late dad's old neighborhood - so Thanks, Lori, for the thread!

Great photo!

Somehow, that building looks like it would be in Pennsylvania (or that region). The folks in Brooklyn were blessed with a great looking church building.

They don't build 'em like that anymore!
