Built in 1845 in Greek revival style, this is the third church on the site.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005 as the Reformed Church on Staten Island.
The first, a hexagonal wooden building erected in 1714, was destroyed by the British during the revolution.
The original building, a long structure around which the community now known as Port Richmond grew, was erected on land donated in 1714 by Governor Hunter.
The original license to the Dutch Congregation signed by Governor Hunter in 1714 is preserved.
The grounds also serve in commemoration of the Five Brothers from Staten Island who served in the Revolutionary War.
The Daughters of the American Revolution recognized the Brothers Mersereau: Joshua - 3rd Quarter Master General, Jacob - Colonel, Cornelius - Soldier, John - Captain, and Paul - Sailor.
