Flushing Town Hall
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.
