built by William Van Duzer Lawrence as a recreation center for the young people in his family and their villager friends was the location of the first informal services for Episcopalians in Bronxville. It overlooked the present- day tennis courts on Garden Avenue.
1902, at the intersection of the present-day Kensington and Sagamore Roads, where the columbarium is today. This early picture shows the church before it was covered by vines and before Sagamore Road was paved.
The First Service was held "over the store" in a new building owned by Edward Stiles on the western side of the railroad tracks just south of the underpass. After first renting rooms on the second floor, this small group of Episcopalians moved to a large space on the first floor, where they remained until the original Christ Church was built in 1901-1902.
Wooden Parish House, 1924, Sunday school children gather in front of the parish house just before it was taken down to make room for the new church.
