Set on a pristine Courthouse Square, the Delhi Methodist Church was completed in 1843 and raised in the 1960's with a hearty foundation. A tremendous commercial opportunity awaits in the Catskills with over 6,600 square feet to pursue a dynamic gallery, studio, or a potential restaurant space.

History:
Plans began in 1839 for the building and the deed was recorded on January 23, 1841. The construction was completed in 1843. The beams in the church are reportedly "drawn" by a Meredith, NY local Hiram Hunt. In 1906, a 2-manual M.P. Moller Pipe Organ was added and has remained virtually untouched over the decades. In the 1960's, the building was raised adding 2,715 square feet and a modern foundation. Most recently, the building housed the Delhi Farmer's Market during inclement weather.
