Former Trinity M.E. Church, West New Brighton

House of Miracles

Ex-Agudath Achim Anshe Chesed

Ex-Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church (1911)

641 Delafield Ave. (originally Prospect Ave.)

West New Brighton, Staten Island

 

The Port Richmond M.E. Church was organized in 1839 and built a sanctuary on Jewett Avenue in 1841. A new building was erected in 1853 at Shore Road and Dongan Street. The name changed to Trintiy two years later. Their first sanctuary was sold to the German Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. John. Yet another new edifice was built in 1882. They built this sanctuary in 1911.

 

Agudath Achim Anshe Chesed was organized in 1900. They built a shul on Jersey Street in New Brighton in 1913 and moved here in 1970.

 

More recently this was the House of Miracles. But the miracles seem to have been fleeting and the building was abandoned. It has since been replaced by housing.
