Flushing Town Hall Cultural Center

USA / New York / Saddle Rock / Northern Boulevard, 137-35
 museum, interesting place, 1860s construction
Built in 1862, Town Hall at 137-35 Northern Blvd. in New York is a fine example of early Romanesque Revival, a style of architecture popular for public buildings of the period. For almost fifty years, this building was the focal point for the social, cultural and political life of the village of Flushing. Among the outstanding Americans who have spoken here was the African-American abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who visited Flushing in 1865.

It is now the headquarters of the Flushing Council on Culture & the Arts.
