First Church of Christ, Scientist

church building United States
The Crenshaw Christian Center East was opened in 2001 by the Ever Increasing Faith Ministry, based in Los Angeles, in the former First Church of Christ, Scientist at 1 West 96th Street on the corner of Central Park West. The building was designed by Carrere & Hastings in the style of Nicholas Hawksmoor (a combination of English Baroque and French Beaux-Arts detailing) and was built in 1899-1903. In 2003, the congregation, which had moved to the Second Church, put the building up for sale, and it was purchased by the ministry in 2004. The building, which features stained-glass windows by John LaFarge, was designated a NYC landmark in 1974. (Sources: Guide to NYC Landmarks (4th ed.), AIA Guide to NYC (4th ed.), From Abyssinian to Zion (2004) and "About Us: The Facility" on the Crenshaw Christian Center East website). In January 2018 the Children's Museum of Manhattan announced that it had acquired the building.
