NYFE Summary

The landmark designation highlighted the carillon in the tall tower. Its narrow arched openings rise beneath a copper-covered pyramidal roof and four small corner pinnacles.

The lower parish house stands between the church and Lenox Avenue, screening the church from street noise. Its steep gables, rough sandstone walls and smooth stone trim match the larger building behind it.
