At a glance

St. Bartholomew’s Protestant Episcopal Church and Rectory is a historic Episcopal complex at 1227 Pacific Street in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Completed in 1886, the church is built in the Romanesque Revival style with brick walls, stone trim, and a slate roof. A squat, battered stone tower topped by an ogival, tiled roof is its most recognizable feature. The adjacent two-story rectory repeats the ogival tower motif and has twin gables.

History

The church and rectory were built in 1886. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. By 2026, the site was listed for sale for potential redevelopment.

What you see

The church is constructed of brick with stone trim and a slate roof. Its tower is the strongest architectural gesture: squat and battered, it rises to an ogival, tiled crown. The rectory is a two-story brick and stone building. Twin gables and an ogival tower tie it visually to the church.

Cultural significance

The complex represents a late nineteenth-century Episcopal presence in Crown Heights. Its National Register listing in 1980 recognized that local historic value. The 2026 sale listing signaled a moment of uncertainty for the site.

Travel tips from CHO

The Smithsonian never charges

Every Smithsonian museum is free to enter, all year, with no ticket to buy. A few of the busiest in Washington ask you to reserve a free timed pass in advance, which is worth doing the week before rather than the morning of.

Pick a fee-free day in the parks

Most National Park Service sites are free to visit at any time; the ones that do charge an entrance fee drop it on a handful of days each year, usually around the national holidays. The dates are set annually, so look them up before fixing your week.

Arrive already connected

Maps, opening hours and tickets all need data, and roaming outside your own network still costs more than the ticket. A travel eSIM for the United States installs on your phone before you leave home and works the moment you land — no queue at the airport, no physical card to swap.
