A New Ceiling for the Flatbush-Tompkins Congregational Church

The Flatbush-Tompkins Congregational Church, on East 18th Street and Dorchester Road, has rebuilt its sanctuary after part of the church’s ceiling caved in. The ceiling collapsed in April of 2012 — you can see a picture of the damage here. Since then the congregation has restored the sanctuary and plans to celebrate the restoration on Sunday, September 8th. Here’s a shot of the ceiling after it was fixed; Preserv Inc. was in charge of the restoration project. The landmarked building is more than 100 years old and considered the finest Colonial Revival church in the entire city. You can read about the building’s history in this BOTD post.
