Tremont Presbyterian Church, ca. 1909. The Tremont Presbyterian Church began in the spring 1854 as a small group of people worshiping at a house meeting. The church was officially organized as the Union Church of Upper Morrisania in November 1854. A permanent church building was completed in 1860, and was renamed the First Presbyterian Church of Tremont. In 1915 a new church building was constructed on the nearby Grand Concourse, and the congregation moved out of this 1860 building. The church still stands, though with some questionable exterior alterations (what appears to be metal or vinyl siding and asphalt shingles). It currently houses St. Mary Protectress Ukrainian Catholic Church.
