St. Peter's Episcopal Church Complex, known now as the Church of Saints Peter and John Complex, is a historic Episcopal church located at Auburn in Cayuga County, New York. It was designed by noted architect Henry Dudley (1813–1894) and built in 1868–1870. It is constructed of rock faced limestone laid in random ashlar and trimmed with dressed limestone. The complex consist of the church, Parish House, a cemetery, and a small burial plot. The church is composed of a rectangular shaped nave, flanked by side aisles and intersected by a compact transcept, with an offset bell tower and spire highlighting an asymmetrically arranged facade. A large rose window is centered within the gable field of the nave. The Parish House is a 2 1⁄2-story, H-shaped structure competed in 1930 in the late Gothic Revival style. The earliest burials date to about 1812, when the first Church of St. Peter occupied this site. The burial plot includes the remains of Enos T. Throop (1784–1874), Governor of New York from 1829 to 1833.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
