Jacob Dangler House, ca. 1975. This French Gothic Revival mansion was built for Jacob Dangler, a German-born producer of provisions, bank trustee, and real estate investor. Dangler’s mansion was completed in 1902, a few blocks from the factory where his cold cuts were produced (his bologna was especially popular) and his Myrtle Avenue storefront. In 1941, two years after Dangler’s death, the house was sold. The Order of the Eastern Star, a Masonic organization, purchased the building in 1967 and operated an event space into the 21st century. In August of 2022, the building was demolished after the Landmarks Preservation Commission failed to act to designate it.

Jacob Dangler House, ca. 1975. The French Gothic mansion may appear out of place on a block of brownstone townhouses, but its architecture reflects the heritage of it first owner.

Throop Avenue Presbyterian Church, ca. 1905. The Throop Avenue Presbyterian Church was founded in 1852 and their original church building was completed in 1867.The congregation grew over the next few decades and by the 1880s the leaders had decided a new building was needed. Architects Fowler & Hough were commissioned for the new church, and they designed a Romanesque Revival brick building with a tall bell tower. Constructed began in 1889 but disaster struck a few months into the project. On a cold and windy morning in January of 1890 a gust of wind picked up the entire brick wall of one side of the church (no roof had been constructed yet) and tossed it onto the wood-frame house next door. The house was destroyed and two children were killed with a number of other family members injured. The church paid for the funerals and all related costs. The church was completed following the disaster and dedicated in 1891. The church suffered a massive fire in 1910 and the community decided against rebuilding on the plot that had already seen so much tragedy. The congregation moved to a new location at 257 Macon Street in Stuyvesant Heights before finally moving to Rosedale, Queens where the church is now known as Throop Memorial Church.
