Thanks to a correspondent wrote this explanation:
"Actually Our Lady of the Presentation Church is in Bedford-Stuyvesant via zip code 11233. Brownsville's zip code is 11212. East New York's zip code is 11208. Historically though, the boundary of Brownsville had started at Eastern Parkway (the church is on the corner of St. Marks Avenue and Eastern Parkway). Now the northern boundary of Brownsville starts at East New York Avenue to coordinate with its 11212 zip code."

I am trying to get information on a Blessed Martin de Porres Chapel that was down the hill from Presentation Church. My mother and her family worshipped there and I would like to research it further. It was a Chapel for Black and/or West Indian people. Does anyone know about this?
