Building
This building at 125 Eagle Street looks like it was once something, and sure enough it was. It was built in 1891 as the Children's Mission, a project of the Greenpoint Reformed Church on Kent Street. The Mission was established on November 20, 1881 as a Sunday school occupying a storefront on Eagle Street.
Building
Theobald Engelhardt assisted his father in the construction of the building and apprenticed to William Ditmars during the design and construction. By 1917 or earlier, the building was used as a synagogue.
