First Presbyterian Church built in 1873 is an historic Carpenter Gothic-style Presbyterian church building located at 60 East Main Street in Oyster Bay, New York. Its architect was J. Cleveland Cady, who was just beginning his career and would go on to design the original Metropolitan Opera House, the American Museum of Natural History, buildings at Yale University, Trinity College, and 23 other churches, but he never designed any other churches in the Carpenter Gothic-style. The congregation which dates back to 1842, is noted for its association with Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., his wife, Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, and their children including their son, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., the future president of the United States. The funeral of Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., was held in this building in 1878. On December 12, 1976, the church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
