ca. 1943 Loew's Gates Theatre was part of Loew's Theater chain. The moviehouse opened on November 21st, 1921. Patrons saw Alias Ladyfingers with Bert Lytell, Hard Luck with Buster Keaton, and vaudeville acts on opening night. According to later photos, Loew's Gates suffered a similar fate to others of the franchise and switched box-office hits to screen X Rated films in its later years. The theater closed in 1977. The building is now home to the Pilgrim Baptist Church.

999 Bushwick Avenue, 1958. The Gustav Doerschuck (or Doerschuk) House is a Romanesque Revival structure that was completed in 1890 for the brewer Gustav Doerschuck. He was the proprietor of the North American Brewery which operated in Bushwick from 1892 until it was taken over by Schaefer in 1946. As architectural historians say, it is a grand pile. Rendered in granite and brick the impressive building has a large pyramidal tower, projecting bays, detailed stone trim at the roofline, fancy brickwork on the chimneys, and sweet little eyebrow windows on the front. Today the building is owned by the Federation of Multicultural Programs, Inc, a social service agency.

Bushwick Presbyterian Church of Peace, October 19, 1958. This church building was designed by Carl L. Otto and Rudolph Daus, who were also responsible for a number of other churches, banks, and office buildings in Brooklyn and Manhattan, including the large Prudential Savings Bank at Broadway and Vernon Avenue. The church was constructed sometime between 1904 and 1916, according to contemporary maps. The congregation that used this church when it was photographed in 1958 was the result of a 1921 merged between the Bushwick Avenue German Presbyterian Church and the German Church of Peace, Brooklyn, founded 1868 and 1884, respectively. The Bushwick Avenue German Presbyterian Church occupied this building before the 1921 merger. Today the church building is occupied by a group of Seventh Day Adventists.
