It is noted for its Greek Revival detailing, especially the finely executed bell tower and an intact mid-nineteenth century sanctuary.

A congregation founded in 1802 built its first church in 1804, and after fire damage in 1833 it rebuilt the structure in Greek Revival style in 1834. Local records say industrialist Zadock Pratt paid one-third of the cost. The church has a gable front, wide corner pilasters, two-story Ionic columns, a full entablature, a double-door entrance and a three-stage bell tower with an octagonal top stage. It rests on a rubblestone foundation and keeps its original twelve-over-twelve windows. Inside, the original sanctuary survives, though the box pews were replaced with replicas in the 1970s. A 1950s hall stands on the east side. The building was listed for its architecture as an intact regional example of a frame meeting house and for its notable facade and tower, which resemble those of a church in nearby Windham.","period_of_significance":"1835","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century / Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still in religious use; the form lists current function as religious property and describes the building as generally intact, with modern synthetic clapboards over the original siding.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.185642-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/96001430.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96001430/d112c74aa3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/96001430/d112c74aa3-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Robert Drake","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prattsville_Reformed_Dutch_Church.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Drake</a>, <a href=\"https://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:Prattsville_Reformed_Dutch_Church.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75318033","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prattsville_Reformed_Dutch_Church","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7238790"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/greene-county/prattsville-reformed-dutch-church-96001430/"}
