In this context, the passages read as Lottery numbers.

"Spiriturl"?

That looks like sound equipment out front.

Eastern Parkway and Rogers

Dear Lord, please send Brother Jenkins a yardstick, so he can line up some damn letters.

This is Greenpoint as I recall, and it really had been a true storefront. They simply put a new facade of cinder blocks out in front of it. This was on a row of retail if my memory serves me. There were a few of these where they heavily modified what had been storefront space at one time. I do believe this is one. When I go back to NYC, maybe I will head out to double check.

I wanted to include it because of the Polish language service, which I thought was interesting.

Thanks for visiting.

I wondered if I had this wrong. Seems I did. I just made the association with the Taoist identity. Perhaps I will swap this one out one day. There was no shortage of shots from Brooklyn Chinatown I could use.

Thanks for spotting this.

i don't think the photog meant "storefront" literally in this case. it would be my interpretation from the title "Brooklyn Storefront House of Worship" that this is a pic of the entrance of this particular house of faith.
interesting views of Brooklyn. thanks!

This one really isn't a "house of worship."

Overseas Chinese "benevolent associations" were organizations formed to provide quasi-governmental services to immigrant Chinese communities throughout the world. A Chinese immigrant from a certain province in China or speaking a certain dialect of Chinese might find a particular benevolent association in his new city that caters to the Chinese sub-group he hails from. The benevolent association might be able to find him a place to stay temporarily and a job somewhere (often at another member's restaurant) to get him started in his new country.

This mosque was formerly the Berkshire (movie) Theatre, on Eighth Avenue between 59 and 60th Street, Sunset Park.

The old Republican Club on the corner of 60th Street is part of the same complex and is now a restaurant (hallal naturally).

This doesnt look like a storefront.

This building looks like a old FDNY firehouse.

This one needs deliverance

I've just been browsing your photos - they are a really amazing document. I just don't know what to think about them. They make me feel strange, like I'm 'round at my Grandmas and i can smell the ornaments.

I'm not going to bore you or make any more wierd statements but just want to say that I'm from the UK, and that as far as i know we don't have anything like your store-front churches. I live in a part of London called Dalston which is pretty rough-and-ready, and was always as similar to Brooklyn as i imagined London got. I think it must have a similar demographic. But we have nothing on you. England is pretty irreligious, and there is only a tiny evangelical settling. Nothing like your niche, pro-active spiritualism. Nothing like your want or maybe your need.

Anyway, thank you for these pictures. All the best

Amazing photos
