Summary edit

Description
English: Orchard Park Presbyterian Church, 4369 South Buffalo Street at Clark Street, Orchard Park, New York, December 2020. Arguably the dominant architectural presence on the south end of the village, the main portion of the Orchard Park Presbyterian complex as seen here dates to 1939 and exemplifies the Colonial Revival style of architecture, though with multitudinous nods to the Greek Revival design of its predecessor church. With a pediment and triglyph-adorned entablature above, the entrance is flanked by a pair of fluted Doric columns and sports latticed windows to its sides and above, as well as on the projecting portions of the interior. Atop is a modest spire whose louvers are framed by engaged Doric pilasters. Later additions to the complex - namely a pair of wings added to either side of the church along North Buffalo Road, as well as a rear annex - date principally to the middle and late 20th century and for the most part complement the design of the original. Founded in 1852 as the First Free Congregational Church of East Hamburg, the congregation built their original church the following year on the same site, and in 1859 voted to affiliate with the Presbyterian denomination. The current building was erected following an 1938 arson fire that destroyed its predecessor.
