St. John's Protestant Episcopal Church is an historic church located at 628 Main Street in Stamford, Connecticut.[2] The church (the congregation's third since its founding in 1742) is an English Gothic Revival structure, built in 1891 to a design by William Potter. It has buttressed stone construction, with a compound-arch entry and a large rose stained-glass window. The associated parish house, also a Gothic Victorian structure, was designed by Richard M.
