“Last year, [she designed] a church for Gouverneur, N.Y.” (San Francisco Chronicle, April 14, 1901)

—

Minerva reported designing a “church for Gouverneur, N.Y.,” a structure whose design was likely tied to the architect’s involvements with the Unitarian Association or her Unitarian ties in Philadelphia. Now a Masonic Temple, the original one-story First Unitarian Church of Gouverneur was built of buff-colored brick with a prominent Palladian window facing Trinity Avenue.
