Transfiguration, Marcy Ave., Williamsburg

The mailing address of Transfiguration parish is 263 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11211,telephone 718-388-8773.  The home page of a new website is linked HERE.  The church is located at Marcy Avenue and Hooper Street, only two blocks south of the Hewes Street station of the J elevated train.

A correspondent has inquired which windows in the church are Tiffany windows.  He recently sent me a list that probably dates from 1910: Four Evangelists, St. Agnes, St. Cecilia, St. Mary Magdalene, Madonna and child, St. Dominic, Sts. Peter and Paul, ornamental windows and gable and porch lights.   I took the above photo before I learned about the possible Tiffany source.  Would anyone be able to identify the above windows or verify that the listed windows are currently in the church?  Please email the inquirer at wab104(at)hotmail.com    Thank you.

The window in the north transept depicts the Transfiguration.  It is probably not a Tiffany.

The above photo was taken in 2010, and schedules may have changed.

Any photo may be enlarged by clicking on it. Bryan Karvelis, a deceased pastor, is commemorated on the street sign. See the link here for more information. A description of the church organ is here.

Transfiguration parish was founded in 1874, and 1889 is the date on the church cornerstone.

The parish school closed in 2005. Nearby on Marcy Avenue is a large public school now an academy for Satmar Hasidim.
