Built in 1902, St. Nicholas was a chapel of Zion Episcopal Church in Wappingers Falls, NY until 1983.

"Eclectic architectural form featuring a cruciform (cross shape) plan with Gothic lancet (pointed arch) windows, verge boards and carpenter style (turned and cut-out forms) ornamentation.  The steeply pitched roof lines create a northern European flair.  This building style is unique unto itself.  It has continually housed an Episcopal congregation since its inception."
    -- Walking Tour of New Hamburg, 1991.

"The church was designed by Edward Lansing Satterlee, a relative of the rector of the chapel's parent church in Wappingers Falls as well as of the philanthropist who provided the major portion of the construction funds."
