church, 1928_construction
3-story church completed in 1928. The original structure on this site, the Memorial Chapel, was built in 1872 to designs by J.Cleveland Cady. Of this building, the auditorium wing remains with four tall, round-arched windows filled with stained- and leaded-glass, two steeply-pitched dormers with stained-glass rose windows, and a slate roof. In the 1890s the chapel was named Church of the Covenant.
In 1972 its eastern half was replaced by a wing designed by Meyer & Mathieu that sympathized with the Tudor City apartment buildings then being built around it, through the use of half-timbering, leaded-glass windows, wooden doors with decorative hinge brackets and tympanum, slate roof, slender metal fleche, and ornamental copper downspouts. When 42nd Street was altered in the 1950s, Adams & Woodbridge added a granite base and rearranged the church entrance by reusing many of the older details.
