Polish National Home

The need for a place that could meet the expectations of the Polish community in Brooklyn was a topic of conversation as early as the 19th century. But it was not until the beginning of the next century, exactly on November 1, 1903, that the Committee of Joint Societies for the Construction of the National House was established.

Over the next hundred years, both development and decline are inscribed in the history of the Polish National House. In its heyday, more than 30 organizations used the premises of the House. In the years of the fall, it took money from a private person to be able to recover the keys to the building. Over the years, the activists of the Polish National House have tried to expand, save, revive what has always been important for the Polish community: so that Polish culture, language, customs, everyday and festive customs, Polish dance, Polish music, youth organizations would have a meeting place and a site allowing for the development of national values dormant in every generation.
