All Saints Episcopal Church
Why it's listed
All Saints' Episcopal Church in Briarcliff Manor, New York, is a granite Gothic Revival church designed by Richard Upjohn and built between 1848 and 1854. It began as a simple rectangular nave with a steep slate roof, on land donated by the founder, Rev. John Ogilby. A transept and enlarged chancel were added in 1911, using stone from the estates of three parishioners, and a concrete block parish hall was added in 1950 and 1954. The interior has exposed rafters, scissor trusses, memorial stained glass, and a rose window by Frederick Wilson. A rectory from 1883 in the Stick Style and a 1904 fieldstone Arts and Crafts parish hall stand a quarter mile east. The property was listed for its architecture. It is presented as possibly the earliest example of Upjohn's rural English parish church type, designed soon after his Trinity Church in Manhattan and shaped by Anglican ideas about Gothic church design.
Significance in brief: The nomination argues the church is significant under architecture as an early and possibly the earliest example of Richard Upjohn's simple rural English parish church type. It reflects the Gothic Revival influence of Anglican ecclesiological ideas, and the later additions of 1911 and 1950-54 were designed to be compatible with it.

What listing means for this property
Religious properties are listed for their architectural or historical significance, not their religious use. Listing is honorary and does not restrict the congregation's use of the building. The federal rehabilitation credit is generally unavailable unless part of the building is income-producing; some state programmes and preservation grants do cover religious buildings. Federal funding or permits trigger Section 106 review.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
