Description
Grace United Methodist Church in St. Augustine, Florida.
Grace United Methodist Church of St. Augustine FL began in the parlors of the Old Florida House Hotel. George Atkins, from Asbury Park, New Jersey, came to St. Augustine, and was instrumental in organizing a Methodist Episcopal Church founded in 1881. The small congregation met in various locations over the next three years.
During the winter of 1884, construction of the �Olivet Methodist Episcopal Church� building had progressed to the point that the congregation held services in the new building. Pews were made from construction material spread between nail kegs, and the windows were covered with muslin. The building was constructed on the corner of Tolomato (now known as Cordova St.) and King Streets in St. Augustine FL, on land that was later needed for the plans of Henry M. Flagler.
