St. Thomas Episcopal Church
St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Gothic Revival church in Newark, Delaware
St. Thomas Episcopal Church features a one-story brick structure with stucco facing, topped by a gable roof and a 35-foot entrance tower.
Built between 1843 and 1845 under architect Richard Upjohn's design, the church served its congregation until 1956 when the parish relocated to larger premises.
The structure transformed from a religious space to Newark's public library from 1956 to 1974, before becoming a University of Delaware recital hall.
The building houses a custom-built Dobson pipe organ and a restored 1920 Steinway piano, making it suitable for musical performances and events.
The church's renovation by the University of Delaware in 1996 preserved its historical elements while adapting the space for educational and cultural functions.
