Unitarian Universalist Church (Cortland, New York)
The Unitarian Universalist Church in Cortland, New York was built in 1837 as a Universalist Church. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
It has cobblestone walls and granite quoins. In 1895, a large arch was cut in the east cobblestone wall and a Morey and Barnes organ was set in the arch. This historic organ is one of only two such historic organs remaining. It is nationally recognized by the American Organ Historical Society for its superb sound and nearly original condition.
The building was documented by Historic American Buildings Survey photographer Jack Boucher in 1966.
It is one of only 21 surviving cobblestone religious buildings in New York State. It is also the oldest public building still in use in Cortland, NY. "The Town of Cortlandville contributed $100 toward construction of the church in return for the use of the church basement as the Town Hall. The Town retained use of the basement until the 1880s."Gallery
