thumbnail for Bay Ridge Architecture#BayRidge is a residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. Its tree-lined streets are mostly filled with one- and two-family houses. Unlike many other Brooklyn neighborhoods, these houses have garages, basements, and lawns, which make certain streets in Bay Ridge look like those of suburbs.

thumbnail for Union Church Of Bay Ridge: Church OfficeThe Union Church of Bay Ridge is a beautiful church at the corner of Ridge Blvd and 81st in the #BayRidge section of Brooklyn. Before there were cars or subways, before there was a bridge to Staten Island, when Bay Ridge was green withlawns and "country" farms, there was a church. Two churches actually - a Dutch Reformed church [Bay Ridge Reformed Church] at 80th Street and Ridge Boulevard, and a Presbyterian church one block south, at 81st Street and Ridge Boulevard.
