Edgehill Church at Spuyten Duyvil, located at 2570 Independence Avenue in The Bronx, is a former United Church of Christ parish church built between 1888 and 1889. Designed by architect Francis H. Kimball, the building exemplifies picturesque eclecticism, blending Romanesque Revival, Tudor Revival, and Shingle style elements. Originally founded in 1869 as a mission chapel affiliated with Riverdale Presbyterian Church to serve workers at the nearby Johnson Iron Foundry, the church features stained glass windows designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Designated a New York City landmark in 1980 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, the building was transferred to the Kingsbridge Historical Society in 2022 after the congregation's decline in the late twentieth century.
