At a glance
St. Thomas’ Episcopal Church Complex occupies 158-168 W. Boston Post Road in Mamaroneck, Westchester County, New York. Built in phases between 1884 and 1925, the complex brings together four buildings around the stone church at its center.
History
The first part of the complex to rise was the Parish House and Chapel, completed in 1886 after two years of work. The Endowment Building followed in 1887.
The Gothic Revival church itself came after these supporting structures. Heathcote Hall, the last of the four buildings, was added in 1925. In 2003 the entire complex was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
What you see
The church is built entirely of rough-dressed Belleville brownstone. Its gable roof is covered in red slate.
On the north facade stands a square tower with clock faces and louvres. Three gargoyles and one grotesque look out from the tower. Each of the other three buildings carries its own dates: the Parish House and Chapel from 1884-1886, the Endowment Building from 1887, and Heathcote Hall from 1925.
Cultural significance
The complex documents more than forty years of Episcopal building in Mamaroneck. Its listing on the National Register in 2003 recognized the cluster as a distinct historic property, valued for its architecture and its role in the community’s religious life.
