The church and Henry Flagler
This church was built by American industrialist Henry Flagler as a memorial to his daughter and was dedicated in 1890. While Flagler is responsible for architectural landmarks across Florida, this church is unique for being the home of the Flagler family mausoleum and is the final resting place of Henry Flagler and members of his family.
