Slide of the Little Red Church at Four Corners,
ca. 1916-1917
This image shows the Little Red Church that stood on the site of today's
Huguenot Memorial Church in Pelham Manor until 1917, when the tiny structure
was moved to a nearby lot across Pelhamdale Avenue on Boston Post Road.
The little church was constructed as part of the Pelham Manor & Huguenot
Heights development in 1876. The last service in the Little Red Church took place
on December 10, 1916. The cornerstone of today's Huguenot Memorial Presbyterian
Church building was laid on Children's Day, June 10, 1917. This undated glass
lantern slide has been dated to the period between December 10, 1916, and June
10, 1917, through computer enhancement of the sign hanging on the tree
in the left foreground. It reads “During building operations services will
be held at the Manor Club Sun Sch'l at 10 Church at 11 15 Everyone welcome."
