 Rev. J. Selden Spencer, present incumbent in 1865. The rectory adjoin- 

 ing the church, was built in 1875. There are costly memorial tablets 

 in the church to Rev. Dr. Creighton and Washington Irving. The 

 church was enlarged and beautified in 1868. 



Upon a commanding eminence, nearly in front of the Episcopal 

 church, stands the mausoleum of the Cobb family. The lower portion 

 consists of a broad marble base, containing apartments for two sarco- 

 phagi, and likewise an upper receptacle for coffins, the whole surmounted 

 by a neat obelisk. 6 



The Second Reformed Dutch church is situated immediately above 

 the former, on the road leading to Sing Sing. This building is also con- 

 structed of brick. The front presents a colonnade of the Ionic order 

 surmounted with a wooden tower and spire. This church was erected 

 A. D. 1837, and is in union with the old Dutch church at Sleepy Hol- 

 low. 



Above the entrance is placed the following inscription : 



"Refoemed Dutch Ciiueoh."
