1. Flushing Town Hall Marker

Inscription. This fine example of a small Town Hall of the Civil War period was where the Flushing Volunteer Artillery Unit mustered to join the Union Army. It served Flushing as a Town Hall until 1900, when Flushing became part of New York City and the building was converted into a courthouse. The tall thin buttresses, the paired arched windows and the brick corbels under the cornice are typical of the early Romanesque Revival style.

Erected 1971 by The New York Community Trust.
