Manly History

Erected in 1850, abandoned in 1983, and partially collapsed in 2015. This church features original medieval stained glass from the period. After a lackluster effort to convert it to a community center failed in the last decade, the church now sits deteriorating until a complete collapse finally brings it to the ground.

Original photo is a sketch by an unknown artist circa 1850.

Lawrence, the Indian. Displayed in the Schenectady stockade since 1887. According to the historical district: "Lawrence was named after the Christian Mohawk who was a great friend to the early settlers and the most persistent of the trackers of the retreating French and Indians after the 1690 raid."
