South Granville Congregational Church, church in Granville, New York
South Granville Congregational Church is a place of worship in Granville built in the Gothic Revival style. The wooden structure with white exterior features a pointed roof, a tall bell tower at its center, and rounded windows decorated with carved details throughout its walls.
The original building was constructed around 1790 and relocated to its present site in 1806. The current structure was completed in 1847 and is now recognized as a historic property, reflecting its importance to the area's development over time.
The church takes its name from the nearby town and has served as a community gathering place since its founding. The building remains active today for worship and community events, connecting generations of residents through its continued presence in the center of the village.
The church is accessible via a small curved driveway north of Route 149 and accommodates visitors during regular services and events. The quiet location with green space nearby allows visitors to explore this historic site in a peaceful setting.
The 1915 pipe organ built by the Barnes & Buhl Organ Company was carefully restored by church member Ralph Krueger, who rebuilt parts by hand after years of silence and damage. The instrument with nine sets of pipes and over 300 individual pipes now plays again during services.
