In towns such as Glen Cove, religious buildings also reflected the growth of permanent residential neighborhoods as seasonal resort areas transitioned into year-round communities supported by rail connections to New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"1228\"\u003eThe image shows the church with a square corner tower, arched windows, and a steeply pitched roof, set along a sloped street with nearby houses visible at left. The printed caption identifies the building as the Carpenter Memorial M. E. Church, and the view presents the structure from an angle that emphasizes its mass and street presence. The reverse is postmarked and filled with a handwritten message, confirming postal use and early twentieth-century circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1519\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe item shown in the listing is the exact item the collector will receive.
