Anniversary Lecture Series: The Largest Church in Westchester, 1920s-1940sSunday, March 9 at 11:30 am The 1920s-1940s brought tremendous change to St. James the Less. Rapidly increasing membership with the addition of the the commuter rail necessitated more space for our growing congregation. The additions of the Great Hall, church transepts and chancel under the leadership of Dudley Stroup and Harry Price made St. James more recognizably the church it is today. Scarsdale was "ground zero" for Episcopalianism, making us, for a time, the largest church in Westchester county. Parishioner Russell Grant guides us through this eventful period of our history. |
