The Grace Church and Apartments

Located on 104th St. is the product of a joint venture in the 1980’s to repurpose the property following a destructive fire of the original church building. This 68-unit building provides affordable housing as well as housing for clergy.

Grace Methodist Episcopal Church

Founded in 1870 when land on the north side of West 104th Street, between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, was purchased by the New York Church Extension and Missionary Society. The original chapel, a small frame structure, was dedicated on April 3, 1870, with only three members present. In the early years, the area had relatively few residents and the chapel was supported by the Church Extension Society. As the neighborhood became more densely populated the little chapel became inadequate for the growing congregation, and in 1890 a new chapel was built at the back of the lot. In 1894, the congregation had become self-supporting, the property was turned over to a Board of Trustees, and the parish became independent.

A fire destroyed the church on December 11, 1983. The lost church was replaced with a complex, that includes a small gabled sanctuary alongside an apartment building that has 68 units, 12 for clergy and 56 for low-income families. The new facilities were dedicated in 1992.
