Niskayuna Reformed Church

Niskayuna Reformed Church is a historic Dutch Reformed church located at 3041 Troy-Schenectady Road in Niskayuna in Schenectady County, New York. It was built in 1852 and is a brick, gable-roofed building in the Greek Revival style. It has brick pilasters and a brick frieze around the entire building. It features a two-stage central tower consisting of a square section surmounted by an open hexagonal belfry. The adjacent cemetery contains burials dating to the late 18th century. Another reformed church at Lisha Kill, built in 1854, is very similar in design.[2]

gollark: Memorizing vast amounts of random information is probably less important now you can look it up quickly too.
gollark: Some tests are apparently okay. But I would be fine with a doctor who didn't do well on standardized testing but did fine otherwise.
gollark: It's not as if standardized tests are a perfect way to judge knowledge. Like much of schooling they do not test understanding a lot of the time.
