  ne of the finest Greek Revival structures in the United States, this
beautiful church was designed by the important 19th century American architect, Alexander
J. Davis.With local dignitaries, the First Lady
addressed a crowd of thousands in front of the Dutch Reformed Church in Newburgh, New
York, on July 14, 1998. Subsequent to the First Lady's Save America's Treasures
visit, it was selected for federal grant funding as a pilot planning project through the
National Park Service under the Hudson Valley Heritage Area Initiative. Another result of
the awareness raised by the visit is the formation of an ad hoc committee by the City of
Newburgh to examine church preservation and reuse opportunities. Meanwhile, critical,
temporary, structural stabilization work has been completed to prevent the collapse of the
church's second floor gallery.
