exemplifies the modest English Gothic parish church made popular in Westchester County and New York State in the mid nineteenth century, with its random-coursed granite ashlar construction, high-pitched slate roof and restrained Gothic ornamentation. The building is modeled on St. Andrews’, an historic, country parish church in Bemerton (near Salisbury), England. All Saints’ mid-nineteenth century vestibule window, attributed to Gibson of Philadelphia, and the large diamond-paned hammered cathedral glass windows (possibly by Gibson) are important architectural elements. … The church was built as a chapel for the community and has functioned as a church of the Episcopal Diocese since 1869. There have been no significant changes to the building since 1911, except for the 1950-54 parish hall additions on the church’s north side that were designed by William Deacy, the same architect of the 1911 addition. On a separate parcel, one-quarter of a mile east down Scarborough Road, are the 1883 Stick Style Rectory and the 1904 Arts and Crafts Style Old Parish Hall. These two buildings contribute significantly to All Saints’ history, in addition
