Bushwick, in northeast Brooklyn, is surrounded by Bedford-Stuyvesant on the west, Williamsburgh on the north, and Ridgewood to the northeast. Like many names in Brooklyn, âBushwickâ is derived from Dutch and means âtown in the woods.â Once a separate town in Kings County, it became a part of Brooklyn in 1869.
The 1890 Doerschuck House was built for a brewer, as were many mansions on Bushwick Avenue. This mansion was built for Thomas Bossert in 1898; Bossert went on to build Brooklyn Heightsâ Bossert Hotel. John Hylan, NYC mayor from 1918 to 1925, lived at 959 Bushwick Avenue (the brownstone one over from the extreme right).
