The church, designed by Isaac Perry, follows the medieval English parish church model promoted by the Ecclesiological Movement. The parish hall and education wing show the parish's growth and are compatible with the original church.","narrative":"Emmanuel Episcopal Church Complex occupies the corner of West Main and Elm Streets in Norwich, New York. It combines three connected buildings put up between 1874 and 1958. The church, designed by Binghamton architect Isaac Perry, is built of polychrome limestone and has a steep gabled roof, buttresses, lancet-arched windows, two engaged towers and a rose window. Inside are seventeen stained-glass windows, black walnut pews and a carved reredos added in the 1930s. Beside it stands a 1915 parish hall by J. Mills Platt of Rochester, finished in stucco with faux half timbering. Behind the hall is a 1958 education wing by John B. Cummings, faced in limestone to match the church. The complex was listed for architecture. It is presented as an intact example of Gothic Revival church design shaped by the Ecclesiological Movement, with later additions that stayed compatible with the original building.","period_of_significance":"1874-1958","architect_builder":"Isaac G.
