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.

DeKalb Branch, August 18, 1930. The DeKalb Library was constructed on a plot that has previously been occupied by an 1854-built Italianate villa. The DeKalb Library was one of the original Brooklyn libraries, pre-dating this structure. The new library building, created as part of the Carnegie grant, was completed in 1905 and designed by William B. Tubby. The library was located in a prime spot, near to numerous streetcar routes and only a block away from the busy commercial strip along Broadway. The building was designated an individual landmark in 2004.

992 Greene Avenue, 1941. The photographers notes on this photo say that it is "showing one of the few remaining old homes in this neighborhood." Despite the 70 years that have passed, this home still remains today and is in seemly terrific shape.

"Wood-frame row houses on Goodwin Place, Bushwick, Brooklyn, ca. 1935. During the 1880s, construction of elevated railways over Broadway (visible at far left), Lexington Avenue and Myrtle Avenue contributed to a surge of residential development in Bushwick. This group of nine wood-frame row houses was built between 1887-1893. The first three houses (farthest left, with higher cornices) were built in 1887 by Theobald Engelhardt, a prolific local architect whose designs included several brewery buildings, working class housing, and Bushwick Avenue mansions for brewery owners. The houses were still intact as late as 1976, when the Landmarks Preservation Commission report for a proposed Bushwick Avenue Historic District noted the deterioration and high risk of demolition. The proposed Historic District was never approved, and as predicted, the houses have not survived. Today the Goodwin Gardens community garden operates on the site."

The South Bushwick Reformed Protestant Dutch Church, ca. 1975. The South Bushwick church, a white Greek Revival frame structure with a Georgian steeple, was dedicated in February, 1853 — nearly 200 years after the establishment of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church in Bushwick. The church was built on land donated by the Stockholm brothers, for whom the nearby street is named. Himrod street, immediately adjacent to the church, was named for the congregation’s first pastor, Rev. John S. Himrod.

Patchen Avenue, at the southeast corner of Greene Avenue, showing a synagogue, 1941. This building, noted as a synagogue in the photographer's notes, remains standing today but is no longer in use due to a fire that broke out in 2016. The Rabbi, Baruch Yehudah, hopes to rebuild the house of worship, which he says has been on this corner since the 1700s and a synagogue since the 1860s. The original synagogue was named B’nai Jacob Joseph and housed an Ashkenazi orthodox community. Up until 2016 (and since 1967) the building housed B’nai Adath Kol Beth Yisrael, an Israelite community of African-American Jews.

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.

Reformed Church of South Bushwick, October 19, 1958. The Reformed Dutch Church of South Bushwick was organized in November 1851. The services for the church were first held in a nearby Methodist church. On a large plot donated by wealthy local land owners and brothers Andrew and Abraham Stockholm, a new church building had its cornerstone laid in September 1852. The wood-frame church, dedicated in February 1853, is a combination Greek Revival forms with a Georgian-inspired tower and steeple.
