Saint Augustine Florida, Memorial Presbyterian Church

For part 3 or our Saint Augustine tour we have the Memorial Presbyterian Church. Constructed in 1889 by Henry Flagler using the same revolutionary poured concrete method used in his Ponce De Leon and Alcazar Hotels (Now Flagler College and Lightner Museum respectively).  Local coquina shells used as aggregate in the concrete gives these structures a unique look and color.  Lightner named the church memorial in honor of his daughter Jennie Louise Benedict who died the year it was built.  Lightner himself is interned there as well since his death in 1913.

While we did not venture into the church I have seen some photos from inside that are pretty impressive.  Here are a few of the photographs I made of the outside of the church on July 4 2014.
