Christ Church of Tarrytown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christ Church Episcopal in Tarrytown, New York (www.christchurchtny.com) was built in the early 1800s and is a relatively small and simple red brick structure on North Broadway. It has been serving the Episcopal community in Tarrytown for two hundred years.
Washington Irving served as a vestryman here. The ivy that covers the church’s red brick North Broadway façade was originally clippings from Washington Irving’s house Sunnyside, which had been built on the site of Wolfert Acker’s house of Wolfert’s Roost in Irvington, New York.
The church was recognized as a landmark in 1935 by the New York Department of Education.
