The turreted stone residence was once owned by Father Divine, founder of the Peace Mission Movement, and is currently on the market for $5.49 million.
Father Divine, an influential American spiritual leader and civil rights pioneer, left a complex legacy as both a proponent of equality and a controversial cult leader.
Built in 1926, the six-bedroom residence spans 15,456 square feet and features exquisite details including cathedral ceilings, a large foyer, and an eat-in chef's kitchen.
Described by the New York Times in 1940 as a 'celestial abode' and originally purchased for $36,000, this estate has seen a dramatic historical transformation.
