An architect's rendering of the Rectory of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, a landmark building on the Village Green in East Hampton, Long Island. In this original watercolor drawing, the building is shown from the front façade, surrounded by landscaping trees and shrubs. Constructed in 1916, the Rectory was built in an Elizabethan or Tudor revival style popular in that era, with a combination of stone walls, stucco walls with timber members, and slate and tile roofs. The church itself, not shown in this rendering, was built in 1910 and also was inspired by English architecture. Thomas Nash was the architect for the church and presumably for this building as well. The drawing is dated the year after the rectory was built.

Thomas Nash was an architect specializing in church architecture. He graduated from Columbia University in 1882. He is best known for his design of All Saints' Chapel -- also known as Dix Memorial Chapel -- an addition to Trinity Church in lower Manhattan built from 1911-13. Nash also designed the tomb of Bishop Horatio Potter in the Church of St. John the Divine, and was active in the restoration of Glebe House in Woodbury, Connecticut, and the interior of St. Paul's Chapel on Broadway near Trinity Church. Nash had a vacation residence in East Hampton, which he also designed.
