Information

Built in 1832, this building was the First Presbyterian Church of Newfield. In 1878, it had a membership of 67, and with Sunday School teachers and scholars, the parish numbered about 100. In 1909, the church was sold and Presbyterian services were discontinued. Sometime after 1909, a second floor was added to the building. In 1910, the Rebekah Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows No. 377 and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows No. 771 bought the building and used it for their meetings as well as many and varied community affairs, until the local Order disbanded sometime before 1982. In 1984 Better Housing of Tompkins County purchased the building and renovated it into five apartment units. It is now owned and operated by Charles Fields.
