History and description
The congregation was organized on October 22, 1896 and the building committee selected the architectural firm Napoleon LeBrun & Sons to design and build the church. Built with schist laid as random ashlar, it was designed to be a "purely English Gothic" church. It features a four-stage square tower with an attached hexagonal stair turret and topped with a metal cross. The cornerstone is dated 1897 and the church opened on June 29, 1898.[3][4] The parish house was designed by architect Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, also a member of the congregation, and built in 1912.[4] The stained-glass windows were made by the studios of Victorian designer Charles Eamer Kempe.[3][4]
