About this property

St. James' Chapel is located on East Market Street (Dutchess County Route 41), a short distance east of US 9, in Hyde Park, New York, United States. It is part of the Episcopal parish of St. James, whose main church is located 1 mile (1.6 km) north of it along Route 9. It appears to be one building today but actually consists of two buildings constructed a quarter-century apart. The Greek Revival-style school building is the church's oldest extant building. It was later used as the town's library and is still known as the Reading Room today. The chapel is a Carpenter Gothic structure with some Swedish influences that served as the main church during winter months for a century. In 1993 the combined building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Bard Infant School and St. James Chapel.
