It was designed by Rochester architect and artist Harvey Ellis from a published design by Arthur Rotch and George T. Tilden. It retains a high level of integrity and is notable for its distinctive exterior form and simple but bold stained glass windows.","narrative":"Grace Episcopal Church at 9 Browns Avenue in Scottsville, Monroe County, is a small Latin-cross church built in 1885 in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Its lower walls are rough native fieldstone, while the upper walls are wood frame with a continuous band of stained glass windows. Rounded transept and apse ends carry conical roofs, and a broad hipped porch on stone brackets shelters the entrances. Inside, oak wainscoting, dark beaded ceiling paneling and geometric stained glass form the main decoration. A parish hall was added in 1956 and a bell tower in 1976. The congregation was organized in 1885, and the church cost $3,925 to build. Rochester architect and artist Harvey Ellis, whose firm donated its services, based the design on a published plan by Rotch and Tilden for a church in North Andover, Massachusetts. The church is valued as a sophisticated example of religious architecture in the village, with a high level of integrity and notable interior detail.","period_of_significance":"1885-1956","architect_builder":"Harvey Ellis; Arthur Rotch and George T.
