The AIA Guide to New York City (1978) states that the original church was built in 1866,[2] although the construction for the previous location began in 1818, and became independent in 1823, with one of its founding members being Vice President Daniel D. Tompkins.[3]
The original building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] The current structure is not the one added to the NRHP. The original structure was destroyed in an accidental fire in the 1990s.
