Designed by architect William A. Parfitt, the New York Congregational Home for the Aged was located in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood and considered a distinct example of an early-twentieth-century institutional building designed in the Colonial Revival style. It was also the first and only aged care facility to be built by the Congregationalists, a religious sect whose American origins predate the country's founding. While at Cultural Resource Consulting Group, Gregory got the property listed on the National Register of Historic Places and secured a matching grant of $400,000 from the New York State Environmental Protection Fund for restorative work on the building. Later, under the auspices of GDPC, he was asked to collaborate with a graphic designer to produce a program detailing the organization's history on the occasion of its centennial celebration.
