Brooklyn: Cranberry Street - Henry Street

Cranberry Street, south side, between Henry and Hicks Street showing the old Plymouth Church, built in 1849, from which Henry Ward Beecher preached his sermons. A brass plate in the church marks the pew where Abraham Lincoln, who was a personal friend of the Brooklyn preacher, sat to hear his sermons. The edifice extends through to Orange Street.

Times," October 5, 1940, for additional data.
