Edgehill Church at Spuyten Duyvil
2570 Independence Avenue
Bronx, N.Y. 10463
The Edgehill Church was originally built in 1888-89 as a chapel of the nearby Riverdale Presbyterian Church to serve workers of the Johnson Iron Foundry at nearby Spuyten Duyvil, a small factory village. Francis H. Kimball designed the small asymmetrical church, combining elements from the Romanesque Revival, neo-Tudor and Shingle styles.
Edgehill Church was designated in 1980 by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, and by the National Register of Historical Place in 1982. |
