*Links:

The church has a Facebook page, but its mention of a Website at www.flatbushchurch.org is bad, and it seems not to have changed since 2013.

A page about the organ has a B/W photo of the building.

The English Wikipedia article about the building has a photo of it but does not mention the bells.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Meneely (Troy) bellfoundry.
