The Dutch Reformed Church on Flatbush Avenue is the oldest continuously used location for religious purposes in New York City. The original church was a wooden chapel built on this site in 1654 with the authorization of Governor Peter Stuyvesant. The current church building was constructed between 1793 and 1798 in the Federal style by architect Thomas Fardon.

The stained glass windows were designed and made by the Tiffany Company. They were installed in 1899 to commemorate the descendants of the original Dutch settlers to this part of Brooklyn. The adjacent graveyard is the final resting place for many members of Brooklyn's most prominent early citizens, including the Ditmas, Livingston, Lefferts, Van Siclen and Vanderveer families.
