Roosevelt Seventh-day Adventist Church
The Roosevelt, New York, Seventh-day Adventist Church was built during the summer and fall of 1858 and dedicated June 17, 1859. The deed indicates that the facility was purchased for $36.00 and owned by Lyman Drake and Alexander Ross.
In the days before church organization, individuals held church property.
The original orientation of the church was different from today. While the pulpit is original the front of the church was between the entrance doors. Those who came in and out of the sanctuary passed the platform. Other churches had this orientation during the nineteenth century. An example is the restored Parkville, Michigan, Seventh-day Adventist Church that has been relocated to the Adventist Historic Village in Battle Creek, Michigan. In October 1862 the New York Conference was organized in the Roosevelt church.
