In 1809 it was proposed to erect a new Meeting House on Thomas Appleby's land on Middle Neck Road, east side, one hundred yards north of its intersection with the present Northern Boulevard, a more central location. In 1812 it was concluded to erect a new building on the old ground, northeast of the original structure. The old building was torn down and the present Meeting House, erected from both old and new materials. The old benches, with some new ones, were used in the building.(Submitted on October 19, 2025, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
