It reflects a tradition of small, timber-framed Episcopal churches on Long Island rooted in the nineteenth-century Ecclesiological Movement. Tudor Revival was less common in church architecture, which makes the building unusual.","narrative":"St. Mary's Chapel in Carle Place, Nassau County, is a small Episcopal church built in 1926 in the Tudor Revival style. It is a one-story, rectangular hall church with a steeply pitched gable roof, half-timbered and stuccoed walls, and diamond-pane casement windows. Inside, an undivided space with exposed king-post trusses seats 145 people. The Church of the Advent in Westbury commissioned it to serve the growing Carle Place community. Its design is reportedly based on an English country church that the rector, Rev. Richard Pope, saw on a tour; the photographs and the identity of the prototype have since been lost. A contract for construction was authorized with Edward Wickey, and the first service was held in December 1926. The building is valued as a highly intact example of a Tudor Revival church, a style less common for religious buildings, and it reflects a tradition of small timber-framed Episcopal churches on Long Island. A 1958 parish house on the lot does not contribute.","period_of_significance":"1926","architect_builder":"Edward Wickey (contractor named in the church's contract for construction)","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still in use as a religious facility (St. Mary's Episcopal Church); the form reports a high degree of integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:53.033972-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/05000270.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000270/8da3fea559-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/05000270/8da3fea559-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Deirdrelmt","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:St_Mary%27s_Episcopal_Church.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Deirdrelmt</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:St_Mary%27s_Episcopal_Church.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75319193","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Mary%27s_Chapel_(Carle_Place,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7401817"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/nassau-county/saint-marys-chapel-05000270/"}
