Grace Methodist Episcopal Church rises at Fourth Avenue and Ovington Avenue
Architect George W. Kramer designed the church, finished in 1899 as Grace Methodist Episcopal Church (later the Bay Ridge United Methodist Church). It was Romanesque Revival in green serpentine stone with brownstone trim, and it had a four-stage clock tower with a crenelated top. A Sunday school building was added on the property in 1926-1927. The church stood on the lot before the present school building.
