Emmanuel Baptist Church (Brooklyn)
Emmanuel Baptist Church is a Baptist church in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, on the northwest corner of Lafayette Avenue and St. James Place. It was built 1887 to designs by architect Francis H. Kimball in the Gothic Revival style "as a synthesis of the cathedral type and the Baptist preaching church." It is considered one of Kimball's finest designs.〔Robert A. M. Stern, Thomas Mellins, and David Fishman. ''New York 1880: Architecture and Urbanism in the Gilded Age.'' (New York: The Monacelli Press, 1999), p.896〕 It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.〔
The congregation was established around 1882 with 194 members that had broken from the Washington Avenue Baptist Church (Brooklyn, New York). The Emmanuel congregation commissioned architect E. L. Roberts, the architect of the Washington Avenue Baptist Church, to build them a small, Gothic-style, two-story interim chapel on St. James Place (1882–1883)." Fund raising for the permanent church began in 1884 and the church was opened on April 17, 1887. Noted architectural critic Montgomery Schuyler praised it as "a very rich scholarly and well considered design." The most conspicuous design feature of the interior was the central font.〔〔 ''See also:'' 〕
