Description: Published for the Sag Harbor Whaling And Historical Museum, Sag Harbor, L.I., N.Y. The reverse reads: "The first Presbyterian Church was founded in 1766. The first church building, from its uncouth shape, went by the name "God's Old Barn". At first there was no minster, the people being called together by beat of drums to hear a sermon read by one of themselves. The present Presbyterian Church was begun in 1843 and dedicated May 16, 1844, having been designed by Maynard Le Fevre of New York. It is unusual in style in as much as it is a harmonious combination of several types of architecture. Of its later ministers the one most widely known perhaps, is Dr. Edward Hopper, writer of the well known hymn "Jesus Saviour Pilot me". Source: Adams, History of Southampton."
