The Evergreen Baptist Church occupies the former Second German Baptist Church, organized in 1898 and located on the corner of Evergreen Avenue and Woodbine Street in Bushwick. As originally built, the complex comprises a Sunday school chapel and rectory building, opened in 1900, and the sanctuary that was completed around 1908. The exterior is faced with straw-colored brick and includes a corner tower and Flemish design elements.
