It built a sanctuary on the south side of Cedar Street, between Broadway and Nassau Street, in 1768. In 1837, the congregation moved to Grand Street. Today their sanctuary is located in a 16-story apartment building at 360 Central Park West. [1]
In 1892, the church built a traditional sanctuary with Manse and School building between 95th and 96th Streets and Central Park West. Following mergers early in the 20th century, in 1917, the congregation changed its name officially to Second Presbyterian Church.[2] In 1928, the decision was made to demolish the existing buildings for a new sanctuary in an apartment building designed by Rosario Candela.
