It was designed by well-known architect A. Page Brown. It retains a high degree of integrity inside and out, including Tiffany windows and furnishings.","narrative":"St. Peter's Episcopal Church, at 19 Smith Street in Port Chester, was built in 1889-90 after sparks from a passing locomotive burned the parish's original 1840s church in December 1883. Designed by architect A. Page Brown, the stone and brick building blends Norman arched openings, a Tudor-derived turret and castellated parapet, and Gothic buttresses. A square clock tower doubles as a porte-cochere. Inside, the nave has a high wood vaulted ceiling and ten Tiffany grisaille windows, while a large Tiffany window of the Ascension of Christ rises over the marble altar. The chancel was enlarged in 1896, and a stone parish hall was attached in the mid to late 1920s. The church retains a high degree of exterior and interior integrity, which underpins its recognition as a distinctive example of eclectic late-19th century religious architecture in Westchester County. It continues to serve as a church and hosts community programs.","period_of_significance":"1889 - c. 1925","architect_builder":"Brown, A.
