Why it's listed
Mamaroneck Methodist Church sits on the north side of the Boston Post Road in the Village of Mamaroneck, on a roughly 1.6-acre parcel with two contributing buildings. The church was built in 1859 to designs by a Mr. Carreja of New York and constructed under Solomon Gedney, a church trustee, carpenter and shipwright. It is a one-story Gothic Revival wood-frame building with a central engaged tower, lancet windows, a rose window and an unusual vertical shiplapped siding without battens. A two-story rear wing, added in 1869, holds a Sunday school room below and a community room above. The interior retains vaulted ceilings, grapevine plaster ornament and early pews. The second contributing building is a 1898 Colonial Revival parsonage, designed by F.A. Roote and built by Charles T. Oakley, now serving as the church house. The property was recognized for its architecture and for the local builders and civic figures tied to its construction.

What listing means for this property
This is a historic district. Buildings within its boundary are either contributing (they add to the district's significance) or non-contributing. Owners of contributing income-producing buildings can claim the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit; homeowners should look at state credits. National Register districts impose no design review by themselves; a local historic district ordinance, if one exists, does (the difference explained).
