A former horse shed converted to a Sunday School and Boy Scout building stands on the same property.","why_significant":"The church is significant as a well-preserved example of Queen Anne style church architecture that uses the Akron Plan, designed by Elmira architect Otis Dockstader. It reflects Atlanta's late-nineteenth-century prosperity as a transportation, food processing and commercial center. The interior retains its original finishes and the building is highly intact.","narrative":"Standing on Main Street in the hamlet of Atlanta, in Steuben County, New York, this Presbyterian church was built in 1895-96 of pressed red brick on a high limestone basement. A bell tower with an open belfry marks the northeast corner, where a porte-cochère shelters the main entrance. Large round-arched stained glass windows light the worship space. Inside, curved pews face a raised dais, and a stamped metal ceiling and varnished oak woodwork survive. Folding doors open the multi-purpose rooms at the north end into the sanctuary, borrowing from the Akron Plan for Sunday Schools. The congregation formed in 1894, and members dug the foundations themselves. Elmira architect Otis Dockstader prepared the plans, and Rochester contractors Sheppard and Parks built it. A former horse shed, converted in the 1920s for Sunday School and Scout use, also stands on the site. The church was recognized as a highly intact example of late Victorian Protestant church design that recalls Atlanta's prosperity around 1900.","period_of_significance":"1895-1920","architect_builder":"Otis Dockstader (architect); Sheppard and Parks, contractors of Rochester, NY","architectural_style":"Queen Anne; Gothic Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a religious facility; the secondary northwest entrance is currently unused and covered with plywood, though the original doors survive behind it.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:48.423659-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/10000030.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000030/506064b83a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/10000030/506064b83a-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Pubdog","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Presbyterian_Church_of_Atlanta_Apr_11.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Pubdog</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Presbyterian_Church_of_Atlanta_Apr_11.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322003","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyterian_Church_of_Atlanta","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7240754"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/steuben-county/presbyterian-church-of-atlanta-10000030/"}
