The stone and wood Gothic Revival church was built between 1872 and 1881, with a c1890 rectory, a 1934 garage and a 1952 parish hall.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the church is a representative, intact example of a small Episcopal church in the English rural parish church tradition. It reflects the influence of Richard Upjohn and the Ecclesiological Movement. It also marks a century of Episcopal effort in New Lebanon and has remained a focus of community activity.","narrative":"Set on a small parcel along NY Route 22 in the hamlet of Lebanon Springs, this Episcopal church complex centers on a stone and wood church built between 1872 and 1881 in the English Gothic Revival style. Its features include a steep slate roof, lancet-arched openings, stone buttresses, a three-stage bell tower and many memorial stained-glass windows. A wood-frame rectory from about 1890 and a 1934 garage also contribute, while the 1952 parish hall, Friendship House, does not. The church is considered significant for its architecture, as an intact small rural parish church reflecting the influence of Richard Upjohn and the Ecclesiological Movement. Its construction came about a century after the first Episcopal efforts in New Lebanon, and the land was a gift from the nearby North Family Shaker community. Construction stalled for lack of funds, and the church was consecrated in 1881. The parish has long served the small hamlet and is locally known as the Little Church.","period_of_significance":"1872-1934","architect_builder":"Architect: Charles S.
