St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church, commonly known as St. John's Church, Getty Square, is a historic Episcopal church located at 1 Hudson Street in the Getty Square neighborhood of Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. The complex includes the main church, in addition to a chapel, rectory, and school. The original church was constructed in 1752, with an extension added in 1849, later followed by significant renovations in 1874 by architect Edward Tuckerman Potter, creating the church's current form. With a cruciform layout, it is constructed of rough gray fieldstone with red brick on the corners and a slate-covered gable roof. The front facade features a half-round rose window, two quarter-round rose windows, and four battered buttresses. The chapel, as well as the adjacent 2+1⁄2-story rectory, were constructed in 1890–1891 and are connected to the church by a series of additional rooms and covered walkways, all added by architect R. H. Robertson. [2] A group of women from the church founded St. John's Riverside Hospital in 1869 to care for the poor of the parish. [3]
The church was added to the New York State Register of Historic Places in June 1982, with the entire church complex added to the National Register the following month. [1]
