Littlest of the Valley's churches, and latest, the Church of Our Saviour, Lebanon Springs, has a longer history than its eighty-four years of parish life. The building, of English Gothic design in native stone, stands on land given in 1871 by the North Family Shakers for "A church edifice and appurtenances of the Protestant Episcopal Church only, forever-, in consideration of the sum of $1." Work was begun in 1872, but, not until June, 1880, was the corner-stone laid, when the fourth rector, Dr. Joseph Hooper, had been six years in charge. In 0ctober, 1881, the Rt. Rev. William Croswell Doane, first Bishop of Albany, dedicated the building.
