Vaughan and Humphrey Williams for a Welsh congregation.","why_significant":"The church is significant for its link to Welsh settlement in the town of Floyd and as a highly intact, representative example of mid-19th century vernacular Greek Revival church architecture in rural Oneida County. It was an important focus of Welsh religious and social life in the uplands of Oneida County.","narrative":"Camroden Presbyterian Church is a rectangular, timber-framed, gable-roofed building measuring 43 by 32 feet, set on a fieldstone foundation at a crossroads on the upland plateau north of the Mohawk River in Floyd, Oneida County. Builders John J. Vaughan and Humphrey Williams of Remsen contracted to complete it in 1863-1864 for $1,373. Its clapboard walls, Tuscan corner pilasters, columned entrance and regular window pattern reflect vernacular Greek Revival design. Inside, a side-aisle plan, walnut communion rail, original furnishings and a cove plaster ceiling survive. The church served a Welsh Calvinistic Methodist congregation founded in 1839, in a hamlet settled by Welsh immigrants from the 1790s onward. Services were long held in Welsh. Falling membership led the town of Floyd to acquire the building in 2000 for a polling place and community room, while the local historical society works to create a museum and preserve the historic worship space. A 1962 parish wing is non-contributing.","period_of_significance":"1863-1864","architect_builder":"John J.
