The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Church of the Nazarene in 1973.[1] It was listed for its architecture: the church follows a published design by architect Richard Upjohn, and was described as being "remarkably untouched and yet well-maintained example of the simplest of Richard Upjohn's standard ecclesiastical designs."[3]

History

The Boquet Chapel was built in 1855 for St. John's Episcopal Church, three years after the publication of Upjohn's Rural Architecture in which the design appears.[3] In 1880 St. John's built a new church in Essex and sold the chapel to the Union Church at Boquet Chapel composed of Presbyterians and Baptists, which used it until 1922 when it was closed. It was reopened in 1949 as the Church of the Nazarene. In 2005 it was dedicated as the Foothills Baptist Church.[4][5]

It is located W of Essex on NY 22, Essex.[3]
