Church of the Assumption

This is a sister church to St. John's in the Wilderness (Lake Clear) in that it is of a similar design. Built by Benjamin A. Muncil in 1923. Muncil also built  St. Paul's Catholic Church in Bloomingdale about seven years later.  I believe Muncil's grave is at St. John's in the Wilderness Episcopal Church just down the road in Paul Smith's along with Clifford Pettis and Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau.

Arts and Crafts style building built in 1917 to plans supplied by the Catholic Church Extension Society with addition and remodel in 1979.

Two later churches built nearby in Gabriels (Catholic Church of the Assumption) and Bloomingdale (St. Paul's Catholic Church) are of similar appearance.
