Vintage Photo: Federated Church

August 11, 2018 By Katie Shepard Leave a Comment

The Federated Church, Essex, NY — Vintage Photo: The Federated Church, Essex, NY (Source: Geo Davis via Rosslyn Redux)

Every week we share a different image on the Essex on Lake Champlain Facebook page and invite our viewers to play some Vintage Essex Trivia. The last image we shared is shown above.

Of course anyone familiar with Essex would recognize this Church sitting on a corner of Main Street. It was the Presbyterian Church, then became the Federated Church as the caption proclaims, and is known today as the Essex Community Church.

Take a look at the old photo — when do you think it dates to? What do you notice that has changed if you compare this scene with what it looks like today?

Do you have any thoughts to share? Please leave a comment below!
