Review:
Widely considered to be Sag Harbor’s most prominent landmark, the First Presbyterian Church (or the Old Whaler’s Church) was built in 1844. The church is an excellent example of the Egyptian Revival style of architecture, and the finest surviving example in the US. Featuring an impressive 185-foot steeple, the church was the tallest structure on Long Island for many years, until the tall steeple was destroyed in a 1938 hurricane. It was never rebuilt and the church you see today is without a steeple. Interestingly, the original bell was preserved and is still on display in the narthex. The church is still in regular use by the Sag Harbor congregants.
