Information
Emmanuel Episcopal Church has been in its original Mount Vernon building since its founding in 1854, an Italianate church with Tuscan bell tower by local architects Niernsee & Neilson. Not much of the original building is visible today after it was renovated and expanded extensively from 1912-1930 by the nationally renowned Boston-based firm Goodhue, Cram & Ferguson and their onsite architect Woldemar Ritter. The building became fully accessible in 2023 with a renovation by Moseley Architects. The church includes windows by Tiffany and La Farge and sculptures by Daniel Chester French, Hans Schuler, and Johann Kirchmayer.
