St. Margaret of Antioch Episcopal Church (Staatsburg, New York)

St. Margaret of Antioch Episcopal Church is a parish of the Episcopal Church in Staatsburg, New York, in the Diocese of New York. It is noted for its historic parish church, completed in 1892. The original Episcopal Church in Staatsburg was built in 1858 and functioned as a Mission for St. James Church of Hyde Park, located several miles south of Staatsburg. The foundation stone for the present church was laid in 1891 and the building, which was designed by Richard M. Upjohn, was completed in 1892. Upon its completion, the original church became the Staatsburg town library.Two of the church's stained-glass windows date to the 13th century. They were given to [Ogden Mills (financier)|Ogden Mills, Sr.]. Their origins are unclear (perhaps removed from a church in the war zone). We know they were given to Mills by the French government in thanks for his contributions to the war effort which included allowing the US government to use the families mansion in Paris. Mills donated the windows in memory of his wife, Ruth Livingston Mills. A pair on the church's north side, which feature Margaret of Antioch with a dragon, appear to have been made by J. Wippell & Co., but their path to the church is unknown. The church also has a Chapman tracker organ, installed 1895 and renovated in 1985. Horace Stringfellow was the inaugural priest and he was succeeded by Samuel R. Johnson, Chas L. Short (1876-1880), Francis J. Clayton (1880-1882), and George W.S. Ayres. It was under the latter's leadership that the congregation took the steps to become an official parish. As of 2023, Rev. Michael Corrigan serves as St. Margaret's Priest in Charge.

Esopus Meadows Light
Esopus Meadows Light

Esopus Meadows Lighthouse, nicknamed "Maid of the Meadows" and often simply referred to as the Esopus Light or Middle Hudson River Light is an active lighthouse on the Hudson River near Esopus, New York. The lighthouse stands on the west side of the channel, in the river, its granite foundation built atop piles that have been driven into the riverbed, and is accessible only by boat. Construction of the first lighthouse on the site began in 1838 when the land was ceded for $1.00 by the town of Esopus to the US government and the US government appropriated $6,000 to build the light. The light became active in 1839. It was a twin to the Roundout II lighthouse further north up the Hudson River. By 1867, however, the building was heavily damaged by flood and ice and funds for a new lighthouse were appropriated in 1870. The current lighthouse was completed in 1871 and is the last wooden lighthouse in existence on the Hudson and the only Hudson lighthouse with a clapboard exterior. It was lit in 1872. One of a group of lighthouses in the Northeast built to an award-winning design by a Vermont architect, Albert Dow, Esopus Meadows Light has sister lights at Rose Island Light, Sabin Point, Pomham Rocks, and Colchester Reef. Esopus Meadows Light was closed in 1965 and by the 1990s it had fallen into a state of disrepair. The most serious problem was the deterioration of the foundation, which had begun to fall apart due to ice damage.The Save Esopus Lighthouse Commission leased the lighthouse from the United States Coast Guard in 1990 for the purposes of restoration. They eventually took ownership in September 2002, as part of the pilot program for the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as Esopus Meadows Lighthouse. Esopus Meadows Light is shown on the NOAA Chart 12347.
