The Central
Presbyterian Church is organized on January 31, 1837 at 90 Market Street.
The first church was a frame building that was dedicated in the fall of 1838.
The cornerstone of the second church was laid on July 29, 1851 on the east side
of Washington Street, between Market and Bank Streets. The dedication was
held on January 25, 1853. On October 18, 1892 the congregation moved,
after a vote, to Clinton Hill. Temporary, services were held in a store on
Clinton Avenue, near Ridgewood Avenue. The new church soon opened at
Clinton and Belmont Avenues.
