The complex also includes a stone manse, the Duff House, also designed by Renwick, and a Stick Style cottage, called the Duff or Gardener's Cottage, built in 1875.[3] In his original design for the Duff House, Renwick combined a mansard roof with gables and dormers in the Gothic Revival style.[1][4]

The complex was designated a New York City landmark in 1966,[1] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[2]

The congregation established the Edgehill Church at Spuyten Duyvil in 1869 as a chapel; it is now an independent church.
