St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church is located at 68 Main Street in East Berlin. It was built in 1897, at a time when East Berlin was experiencing a boom during the heyday of the nearby Berlin Iron Bridge Company. The church was built on land purchased from the East Berlin Building Company. This was a real estate development which rented housing to workers at the Iron Bridge Company, whose principals owned the majority of its stock (60% in 1903). The addition, with a shorter gable roof, to the north of the original section of the church (on the right in the image above), was built in the twentieth century.
