It includes an 1831 Greek Revival church, an 1875 parish house (former chapel) and a ca.1890 rectory on 4.75 acres.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the complex is an exceptionally intact group of ecclesiastical buildings in Ulster County. The 1831 church is an excellent example of the temple-front Greek Revival form. It also holds a rare stained glass window by William Morris's firm, installed in 1874, in the upper Hudson Valley. The complex shows how a rural church grew with its congregation and community.","narrative":"Trinity Episcopal Church Complex occupies 4.75 acres at the south end of Church Street in Saugerties, bounded on the west by the steep bank of the Esopus Creek. Three historic buildings make up the group: a wood-frame church built in 1831, a brick parish house of 1875 that began as a chapel, and a brick rectory of about 1890. The church follows the Greek Revival temple-front form, with a two-story portico carried on four fluted Doric columns, tall double doors and a louvered belfry. Inside, the plan and 1870s furnishings survive largely intact. A stained glass window designed by William Morris and installed in 1874 is described as a rare example of his firm's work in the upper Hudson Valley. The parish house is Queen Anne in style, and the rectory is described as Dutch or Flemish Revival. Together the buildings show how the church grew with its congregation, and they remain a visual landmark in the village.","period_of_significance":"1831-ca.1890","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Mid-19th Century/Greek Revival; Late Victorian/Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used for religious purposes, including a church-related residence; the upper belfry was removed in the 1990s because of structural instability.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.482522-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/98001006.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001006/6959622538-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/98001006/6959622538-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Magicpiano","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SaugertiesNY_TrinityChurch.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Magicpiano</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:SaugertiesNY_TrinityChurch.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75322745","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Episcopal_Church_Complex_(Saugerties,_New_York)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7842786"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/ulster-county/trinity-episcopal-church-complex-98001006/"}
