St. Anastasia Roman Catholic Church, 1924.

St. Anastasia Church was founded in 1915, after local residents has spend the hundred years prior traveling great distances to attend mass (to St. Michael's in Flushing or St. Mary’s in Manhasset). The original congregation was only 100 parishioners. The community grew and the first church building, a small wood-frame building, was completed in 1919.

In 1936 a brick building was constructed to house the auditorium and gymnasium for the parish school, but was instead used as the new church, which it remains today.
