This Church I have driven by for 17 years and always wanted to see the inside. Well the one day I decided to drive by to take this picture was my lucky day. As soon as I was finished taking this outside picture the new owners pulled up and walked in. So I followed the owners into the place and spoke to them. The where kind enough to let me take inside photos and even left me to stay inside when they where leaving. They are looking to restore the church and turn it into some kind of cooking school with a restaurant in the old chapel and leaving all the stain glass windows intact. 

As far as history goes, I am unsure, Since I am having a hard time finding any information on the location. Once I do I will update here.

The dean of all utility presidents in the United States Estate

























Smith, an electrical engineer, entrepreneur, philanthropist and collector who contributed to his native Orange County in many ways during his 99 years. Roscoe made his fortune as founder of the Orange and Rockland electric company in 1905. The wealth he generated from his successful company and investments allowed him to give back to the community in many ways. Probably Mr. Smith’s most cherished gift to the local community was Museum Village of Old Smith’s Clove. Mr. Smith was passionate about American history and was an avid collector of Americana. His collection varied widely, from textiles and porcelain items to horse-drawn carriages. His main interest was in craft tools and mechanical devices: their invention, adaptation and development which he realized were slowly disappearing. Now his Estate sits in disrepair.
