Commissioned by a growing and well-to-do Episcopal congregation in the 1880s in what is now Crown Heights, one of Brooklyn's finest architects and also a local resident, George Poole Chappell was inspired by the British Arts and Crafts movement and Richardsonian Romanesque when he designed St. Bartholomew's Church and rectory using local materials in a park-like setting.
