Its continued association with leading architects and interior designers such as Littel, Withers, Upjohn and Tiffany Studios gives it a significant place in the city's architectural history. The intact late Gothic Revival interior adds to that standing.","narrative":"St. Paul's Episcopal Church at 161 Mansion Street in Poughkeepsie is a masonry church of rough-cut stone, built in stages in 1873, 1892 and 1907. Its nave rises above the side aisles and has stained-glass clerestory windows, and an asymmetrical three-and-a-half-story tower with a broach spire stands at the southeast corner. The congregation was organized in 1835 and first built in the Grecian Doric style in 1837. In 1870 it chose Emlen T. Littel of New York to design a new Norman-Gothic building, constructed by William T. Harlow. Richard Upjohn worked on the south transept and gallery in 1892, and Tiffany Studios remodeled the nave beginning in 1907. The interior remains largely intact, with period doors, woodwork, hardware and furniture, and some windows were bought at the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The building is regarded as one of the finest Norman Gothic Revival churches in the city, and it remains in use as a church.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Architects: Emlen T.
