The Brick Presbyterian Church is a large congregation at Park Avenue and 91st Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City.
[3] The first church building was built and designed by architect John McComb, Sr.[4] on the corner of Beekman and Nassau Streets.
[5] When the congregation moved uptown, the New-York Daily Times used the site for its new headquarters, a dedicated five-story building.
[11] The cornerstone to the current building was laid on November 25, 1938, in the presence of Mayor Fiorello La Guardia.
"[3] Following the end of WWII, Mrs. Stephen C. Clark and some of her friends who had also lost sons and daughters in that war installed lighted trees along Park Avenue as a memorial not only to their children but to those from throughout the city who had given their lives.
Every year since, a ceremony involving caroling and the tree lighting takes place on the first Sunday in December on the Park Avenue steps of Brick Church.
[17] The sanctuary has a French Symphonic style organ with 6,288 pipes built by Casavant Frères of Quebec.
