The Grace Church Complex, saw its 175th anniversary in 2019, is a historic Episcopal church complex in Massapequa, Nassau County, New York. The complex consists of the church, surrounding parish cemetery, the Floyd-Jones family cemetery, and the DeLancey Floyd-Jones Free Library. The small church was built in 1844 by Elbert Floyd-Jones and remodeled in 1905. It is a frame structure on a brick foundation and consists of a vestibule, nave, and chancel. It is in the Gothic Revival style and features a square bell tower with modest spire. The church also has Tiffany glass windows added during the remodeling.[1] Sometime after 1983, the old Grace Church was given to the Historical Society of the Massapequas.
The DeLancey Floyd-Jones Free Library was built in 1896 and is a two-by-two-bay one-room structure that served as the only public library in Massapequa for 60 years. The library was founded and built by DeLancey Floyd-Jones (1826–1902).[1] Initially, the library, which Col. Floyd-Jones gave to Massapequa along with an endowment, was open three days a week and had enough space on its shelves to accommodate up to 2,500 books.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It also includes two structures that are Oyster Bay municipal landmarks.
