The First Presbyterian Church of Far Rockaway, formerly known as the Russell Sage Memorial Church, is a historic Presbyterian church located in the Far Rockaway neighborhood of Queens, New York. It was designed by noted architect Ralph Adams Cram (1863-1942) as a memorial to Russell Sage (1816-1906). It features a large landscape stained glass window designed by Tiffany Studio. The church was built between 1908 and 1910 and is a Neo-Gothic style building laid out in a traditional cruciform plan. It is constructed of brick with concrete trim and a steeply sloping slate covered roof. Connected to the church are a parish hall and manse. The surrounding landscape is also a contributing element and it was designed by the Olmsted Brothers.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
