Description: Knox Evangelical Presbyterian Church, 2595 Elmwood Avenue at Kinsey Avenue, Kenmore, New York, May 2021. A brown brick edifice with a Late Gothic Revival design typical of the ecclesiastical architecture of the second quartile of the 20th century, this building was constructed in 1928 to house the village of Kenmore's second Presbyterian congregation that had been founded the previous year by 47 former members of Kenmore Presbyterian Church on Delaware Avenue. The new congregation was at the outset a mission of the no-longer-extant Riverside Presbyterian Church in the Buffalo neighborhood of Black Rock, but growth in the congregation and the village as a whole necessitated substantial additions to to building in 1938 and 1956. Initially known as Kenmore United Presbyterian Church, the congregation changed its name in 1958 to avoid confusion with the aforementioned Delaware Avenue church as well as to honor John Knox, the 16th-century Scottish clergyman considered the founding father of Presbyterianism.
