Duro Instrument Co, 451 Third Avenue; June 15, 1959.

Our Saviour’s Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1941. By the late 19th century, Scandinavian immigrants had arrived in South Brooklyn, finding work in local factories and along the Red Hook waterfront. In 1886, the Danish community was able to purchase two adjoining townhouses on 9th Street, which they then converted into a church and attached rectory. Our Saviour’s congregation moved to Brooklyn Heights in 1957 (it was thereafter known as the Danish Seamen’s Church). The Church sold the 9th Street sanctuary to the American Legion in 1962.

Grocery store and frame buildings on Sixth Avenue, north of 16th Street, 1940. The corner store awning advertises the grocery as a “direct receiver of butter and eggs,” presumably fresh. Photographer P.L. Sperr describes nos. 567 and 569 as “very old frame dwellings.” Today, both structures remain, but the clapboards have been replaced with vinyl and brick veneer siding.
