WASHINGTON – St. John’s Episcopal Church in Pleasantville has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The church offers community programs and services including a 12-step program, homeless outreach efforts, community gardens, and theater group meetings.
The official designation expands opportunities for federal historic tax credits and other resources to support future preservation and development initiatives.
“The church is an architectural treasure and remains a beacon for those looking for religious and spiritual guidance,” said Senator Charles Schumer.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said the church “has deep-rooted connections
to Pleasantville spanning over a century.” She said the church “remains
an iconic symbol of Pleasantville’s history.”
