St. Peter's Episcopal Church Complex

St. Peter's Episcopal Church Complex is a Gothic Revival religious campus in Auburn comprising multiple limestone buildings and burial grounds. The main church features a rectangular nave with side aisles, an offset bell tower, and a distinctive rose window set in the gable end.

The complex was completed in 1868 from designs by architect Henry C. Dudley and includes the church, a Parish House, and a burial ground. The cemetery holds graves dating to the early 1800s, marking some of Auburn's oldest records of settlement.

The parish uses the grounds for religious services and community gatherings that shape Auburn's local life. The buildings and burial grounds reflect the institution's long role in the town's social fabric.

The property sits on Genesee Street and spans about 1.8 acres with multiple buildings and burial grounds to explore. Visitors should plan time to walk the full grounds and view the architecture from different angles around the campus.

The burial ground holds the remains of Enos T. Throop, who served as governor of New York from 1829 to 1833. His grave site draws history enthusiasts interested in early state politics and leadership.
