Emmanuel Church is an historic Episcopal church at 42 Dearborn Street in Newport, Rhode Island.
The church began as a mission of Newport's Trinity Church in 1841. In 1852, it was admitted into the diocese as Emmanuel Free Church in its own right.[2]
The current building was designed by architectural firm Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson in Late Gothic Revival style. It was built between 1900 and 1902, thanks to a donation in memory of John Nicholas Brown I by his widow, Natalie Bayard Brown. Brown donated the reredos and murals in 1921 in honor of Armistice Day.[2]
In the early 1930s, E. Power Biggs served as its organist.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
