Church of the Holy Comforter
Church of the Holy Comforter, Gothic Revival church near the train station in Poughkeepsie, United States.
The Church of the Holy Comforter features walls constructed from Ulster County bluestone with New Jersey brownstone trim and contains preserved original wooden pews inside.
Architect Richard Upjohn designed this church in 1860, incorporating Gothic Revival elements such as pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and intricate stone craftsmanship.
The congregation started as Christ Church in 1854 and later transformed into the Church of the Holy Comforter within the Holy Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Located at 18 Davies Place, the church maintains a capacity of 300 people and remains visible from US Route 9 due to its elevated position.
The 1867 northern addition was funded by William Augustus Davies as a memorial to his wife Sarah Van Wagenen, adding to the building's architectural features.
