Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church

It is still a working church.
The church is a Venetian Renaissance Revival style. It is modeled after St. Marks in Venice it took a little less than one year to build and was completed in 1890.
The building, designed by nationally renowned architects Thomas Hastings and John M. Carrere, was built by hotel entrepreneur Henry Flagler in memory of his daughter, Jennie Louise, who died at sea en route to St. Augustine in 1889.
