Summary edit
| Description |
English: The former Episcopal Church of the Ascension, North Street at Linwood Avenue, Buffalo, New York, January 2020. Founded in 1855 as the northern expansion of the city left many Buffalo Episcopalians without a nearby church to attend, the fledgling congregation worshipped first in a small wooden church on a hilltop site donated by Jesse Ketchum, a wealthy parishioner of nearby Westminster Presbyterian Church, then in this much larger English Gothic-style building dedicated in 1873. The work of architect Gordon W. Lloyd, the imposing yet austere design of the façade (practically its only distinguishing feature is a quartet of narrow ogee-arched gallery windows crowned with a two-panel lancet decorated with anthemions) was matched by an equally austere interior. The congregation endured until 2015, when it merged with that of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Parkside; the former church was slated for conversion to an apartment complex for seniors, which gained the approval of the Common Council in 2018 but on which work has yet to begin as of this writing. |
