A massive fire tore through the historic South Bushwick Reformed Church in Brooklyn Friday, reducing much of the 173-year-old wooden landmark to rubble.
The blaze broke out around 1:20 pm and quickly engulfed the structure, causing the iconic steeple to collapse as firefighters battled a three-alarm inferno.
The church, a Greek Revival landmark built in 1853 and designated a city landmark in 1969, stood as one of the neighborhood’s oldest surviving religious institutions.

It had served generations of families. No civilian injuries occurred, though one firefighter was hurt. The FDNY contained the main blaze by late afternoon, but the damage left the roof, steeple, and much of the upper structure destroyed.
