Union Meeting House, also known as the Millens Bay Union Church, is a historic church located at Millens Bay in the Town of Cape Vincent in Jefferson County, New York.[2] It was built between 1869 and 1871 as a cooperative Episcopal and Methodist union church, as a mission of St. John's Episcopal Church in the village of Cape Vincent and of the Methodist-Episcopal Church in St. Lawrence.[3] It is a one-story wood-frame structure, rectangular in plan, one bay wide and four bays long. It features a steeply pitched gable roof and steeple with a six sided spire.[4] It can seat about 200 individuals.[3] Interdemoninational services are held on Sunday mornings in July and August each summer.[2]
