Prospect Cemetery is a historic cemetery located in the Jamaica section of the New York City borough of Queens. It was established in 1668 and known as the "burring plas." The First Presbyterian Church (found in 1662) was given control of the care and maintenance of the cemetery after it was taken from the care of the town. There was a dispute between this Church and the Grace Episcopal Church (founded in 1701) in regard to which church would maintain the cemetery. Included on the property as a landmark contributing building is the Chapel of the Sisters, erected in 1857. It was built as a Romanesque Revival building and measured approximately 40 by 40 feet and 25 feet high. This was refurbished in 2007 with assistance from the Queens boro president, Helen Marshall.
