St. James the Less' simple nave plan provided the most suitable prototype yet to appear for America's rapidly emerging suburban and rural Episcopal parishes, and stimulated a parish church revival throughout the country. Prominent architects Richard Upjohn and Frank Wills produced numerous churches based on St. James the Less...
