West Farms Presbyterian Church, ca. 1885.

In 1814 the First Presbyterian Church in the Village of West Farms was organized. In 1815 a small wood-frame church was erected. The adjacent cemetery was founded by John Butler for a private burial just after the establishment of the church. The Butler family owned the burial ground until the City took possession in 1954.
