ST. AUGUSTINE'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, ANOTHER ONE OF CROTON'S "SPECIAL PLACES"

Welcome to EverythingCroton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Continuing our new series—Croton’s Special Places—here’s the 3rd installment: ST. AUGUSTINE’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH

St. Augustine's Episcopal Church Complex is a historic church complex at 6 Old Post Road N. The church consists of the original building, Gothic Revival in style, and a later parish hall connected by an enclosed hyphen. The church was built in 1857, the parish hall was added in 1882, and the rectory was completed in 1910. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. This charming church is especially beautiful in the winter months when the perennial beds and old growth trees are covered in snow.

  3. Hi there, is there a way to get in touch with the person who took these gorgeous photos of St. Augustine's in the snow? I'm a parishioner at St. A's and volunteer on a special Christmas album fundraiser project for the church - we're looking for great photos for cover art. Could I give you my contact info to pass along? all best, Emily
