Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church

Henry Flagler broke ground on this church in grief. His daughter Jennie Louise Benedict died following complications from childbirth at sea in March 1889, and Flagler — a lifelong Presbyterian — chose a plot near his St. Augustine hotels to build a sanctuary in her memory. Architects Carrere and Hastings designed it in Venetian Renaissance style, drawing on St. Mark's Basilica; the copper dome was made in Italy, the floors are Italian marble, the baptismal font carved from a single block of Siena marble. The church was dedicated on March 16, 1890. When Flagler died in 1913, he was interred in a marble mausoleum connected to the building, alongside Jennie and his first wife.
