Wesley M. E. Church

The Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church of East New York was established in 1883. Shortly thereafter the congregation purchased a property on Berriman Street near Eastern Parkway (?) and constructed a church, only to find out that the title on the property was not clear. The church decided to purchase a new piece of property at the corner of Glenmore and Atkins Avenue and in 1894 moved the church there 1.

In 1908 the church undertook an expansion and remodeling, and the building shown in the postcard here reflects that work.2.
