Saint Luke's Episcopal Churchyard
Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, USA
520 Clinton Avenue (between Fulton St. & Atlantic Ave.
Originally constructed as St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church, its congregation was founded in 1841 following the failure of Trinity Church. The building, the largest in the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, merged with St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in 1943, and the Church of St. Michael and St. Mark in 1993.
Designated a New York City landmark in 1981, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places the following year.
The building was damaged by fire in late 2012.
The basis for burials here comes from an article entitled "Clinton Avenue Graves," found on page 3 of the 02 Mar 1890 edition of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper which describes "an obscure little cemetery which attracts no attention." The article provided a brief history of the church, and named several persons interred here who were identified from their tombstones or coffin plates.
