What Building Was This in Port Jefferson Station?

Historical photo shows a place that no longer exists. Guess what it used to be.

The famous local took this photo in the early 20th century. The image comes from a postcard with a postmark of June 8, 1906, according to village historian Ken Brady. It was once a Baptist Church but the building was moved to Port Jefferson Station for a new purpose. (Seems lots of instead of knocked down back in the 1800s and 1900s.)

Can you guess what this building was used for and where it once stood. Extra credit if you can take a modern photo of the site and upload it.
