The building is also used as a Meetinghouse for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who signed a temporary lease to use it due to the remodel of the Manhattan New York Temple and Stake Center.
[1] The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints signed a lease in January 2024 to share use of the facility with the West End Collegiate congregation while the Manhattan New York Temple and Stake Center are under remodel.
This building has the picturesque qualities of the Gothic, highly valued in the late nineteenth century and deemed especially appropriate to church architecture.
Authenticity is enhanced by the choice of long, thin, brown bricks laid in Roman pattern, and by the generous use of quoins and blockings of buff terra cotta.
The architect further enhanced the antique effect by inserting several handsome, terra cotta panels carved with the coats-of-arms of the church and of past benefactors.
