The church is a relatively rare, intact example of an early Episcopal church built on the New England meeting house form. The rectory is a typical regional Greek Revival house, and the small cemetery recalls the early history of the parish and village.","narrative":"On Pine Hill, the highest point in the village of Hobart, stands a small complex of church-related buildings and a cemetery. The centerpiece is a wood-frame church completed in 1801, with a square projecting entrance tower, an octagonal belfry, a barrel-vaulted nave, galleries on three sides and original box pews. A chancel was added in 1873 after a fire, and the interior was grained and fitted with stained glass and new lighting in the later nineteenth century. Nearby are a Greek Revival rectory from about 1830, a carriage house from about 1880, and a small cemetery holding about thirty graves dated 1817 to 1880, many bearing the name Foote. The complex was recognized for its architecture. The church follows the New England meeting house tradition adapted for Episcopal use, and it keeps a high level of integrity despite its later changes. Together the resources reflect nearly two centuries of religious life in Hobart.","period_of_significance":"1801-c1880","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Federal; Greek Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Church, rectory and cemetery remain in religious and related use; the church has central heating but still lacks plumbing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.896004-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/98000948.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75317273","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter%27s_Episcopal_Church_Complex_(Hobart,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7591382"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/delaware-county/st-peters-episcopal-church-complex-98000948/"}
