Grace Episcopal Church History
In the 1800s, West Farms was a mill town on the Bronx River. In 1835, there was not an Episcopal church in the area. It was through the efforts of Miss Margaret Hunt, daughter of Thomas Hunt, that village residents were persuaded to establish a church. The Bishop of New York was petitioned to provide aid, and he responded by sending the Rev. J.T. Cushing to organize a vestry. On December 18, 1844, the society was incorporated as Grace Church, West Farms.
Two years later, construction began on a church edifice and the cornerstone was laid on November 10, 1846. The frame structure was Gothic in style and had a tower and steeple at its corner. On July 28, 1847, the completed church was consecrated by the Rt. Rev. William Heathcote DeLancey, Bishop of Western New York.
Following the Civil War, a great depression affected all of West Farms and a mortgage was placed on the property to pay debts. In 1881, the mortgage was foreclosed and the church was faced with the decision to merge with a wealthier parish or become a mission chapel. The congregation chose to remain independent. Soon after, the church received notice that, after January 1885, the old church building could not be used as the new owners would not lease it or allow it to be used for religious purposes. Church services however, were held in the parish hall next door. In November 1885, the church was able to secure a lease on the parish hall and its land for one year at a yearly rental of one dollar, paid in advance. All of the church furnishings were then moved to the parish hall, and services were held in the parish hall thereafter.
In February 1885, a generous financial offer was granted to erect a new church. The lots on Vyse Avenue were purchased by Mr. John B. Simpson who then deeded the property to the congregation. By July of that same year, plans for a shingle-style Gothic church were prepared by William A. Potter (1842-1909), a prominent architect who had designed several buildings for Princeton University. The cornerstone was laid on September 21, 1885, and the church was dedicated on February 7, 1886.
On Monday, November 1, 1993, a devastating three-alarm fire destroyed the 107-year-old church and buildings. In the face of such loss, the congregation was determined to rebuild. Until a new building could be erected, the congregation worshiped with St. Martha's Episcopal Church. Andrew Robert Levenbaum designed the present church buildings that were dedicated and consecrated on October 31, 1998.
