The school building is an awesome Gothic style building with towers that seem to dominate that section of Flatbush, Brooklyn. It is actually has four main sections stretching from Church Avenue in the North, to Bedford Ave in the East, South to Snyder Ave. and West on Flatbush Ave. In the center of the quadrangle is the original building, constructed by the Dutch in 1787.
