..hope you can join us....
The Englewood Historical Society is presenting the third of a series of programs by representatives of our local religious organizations on Wednesday, March 18 at 7:30 pm. Mark Trautman, Music Director and Organist of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, will be the speaker and will talk about the history of the church in relation to Englewood.
Celebrating 150 years, St Paul's is a multicultural, multiracial parish that is well known for its classical, jazz, and gospel musical programs, as well as its innovative choir school.
The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in May, 2014. The Chapel building is late Victorian revival style and the historic sanctuary is late English Gothic style. Both buildings were designed by Thornton Floyd Turner, the first child baptized in the parish and well-respected New York City architect. Early pictures show this Gothic structure covered with English ivy which was transplanted from Canterbury Cathedral in England. Other notable features are the rose limestone foundation and the stained glass windows from Tiffany, La Farge, and Lamb Studios.
The Englewood Historical Society (EHS) is "Mindful of the Past ... Dedicated to the Future" with a mission to explore and communicate the history of Englewood, New Jersey via programs, events, and special projects. Previous talks in this series were well attended programs by Bob Ryder discussing the oldest Englewood church, First Presbyterian and "Father Joe" speaking about the history of St. Cecilia's Church.
EHS, whose goal is to create awareness of local history and be an information source, is open to anyone interested in the history of Englewood and its neighboring communities. EHS is always looking for history lovers who would like to take an active part in promoting our local history, and to attend our meetings and programs.
All are welcome to hear the talk at the centrally located, historic St. Paul's Episcopal Church at
