“St. John’s Church (Episcopal). It was probably erected on land of Benjamin B. Mott in 1873. April 1925.” Photographer Eugene L. Armbruster’s annotation is incorrect: the Trinity Chapel was built in 1858, according to noted church architect Richard Upjohn’s Gothic Revival design. Founded as a mission of Trinity Church in nearby Hewlett, Trinity became an independent parish in 1881, at which point it was renamed St. John's of Far Rockaway. Trinity and St. John’s re-merged in 1974 and the building was sold to current occupants Bethel Temple Church of God in Christ.
