It is the home of a Reformed Dutch congregation.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it an exceptional, intact example of an early nineteenth-century rural church. Its austere facades and simplified interior detail, and its continuous use since 1835, give it local significance as a religious and visual landmark.","narrative":"Set in farmland three miles north of Wallkill, this frame church was built in 1835 on the foundation of a smaller 1774 building. The land was bought on behalf of the congregation in 1773. The building measures 50 by 80 feet and is covered in narrow clapboards. Its south front has a Doric portico with four fluted columns made of plastered brick, and a square bell tower rises above it. Tall friezes and broad flat moldings recall a Greek temple, yet the usual Greek Revival ornament is left out. Inside are a balcony, white pews with mahogany rails, and stained-glass windows added in 1905. The interior was restored in 1970. The adjoining one-acre burial ground holds the graves of early families of the community. The church has served rural residents continuously since 1835. It was listed for its architectural integrity, its restrained design and its role as a visual and religious landmark in the area.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Greek Revival-influenced rural ecclesiastical design with details deliberately simplified","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied and in continuous use as a church since 1835; condition marked good and unaltered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:41.946788-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/82001273.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001273/5de8c19d28-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001273/5de8c19d28-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"The original uploader was Daniel Case at English Wikipedia.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_Hurley_Dutch_Reformed_Church.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">The original uploader was Daniel Case at English Wikipedia.</a>, <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_Hurley_Dutch_Reformed_Church.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322715","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hurley_Reformed_Church","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7307506"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/ulster-county/reformed-dutch-church-of-new-hurley-82001273/"}
