The Little Red Church was the first sanctuary of The Huguenot Memorial Presbyterian Church in Pelham Manor. Opened in 1876, the little wooden church stood on the site of the present sanctuary of the Church at "Four Corners" -- the intersection of today's Boston Post Road and Pelhamdale Avenue in the Village of Pelham Manor.

On March 20, 1889, the Little Red Church hosted a Presbyterian conference devoted to "promoting the cause of religion." A brief article about the conference appeared in the March 22, 1889 issue of the New-York Tribune. The text of that article appears below.

"PELHAM MANOR. - At the Presbyterian Church on Wednesday evening there was an assembling of Presbyterians from Mount Vernon, New-Rochelle, Pelhamville, Yonkers and adjacent villages for the purpose of eliciting an exchange of views as to the best means of promoting the cause of religion. The Rev. Messrs. Allison, Freeman, A. T. Sebauffer and Lane made brief remarks on the subject. At the close of the meeting those present were hospitably entertained by the Presbyterian ladies of the place."
