Park Avenue Christian Church
The Park Avenue Christian Church is located at 1010 Park Avenue at 85th Street, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. At present, the building houses the Park Avenue Christian Church (PACC) congregation of the Disciples of Christ, which also routinely shares its facilities and cosponsors interfaith events with the Reform Temple of Universal Judaism (TUJ), also known as Congregation Da'at Elohim.
==Architecture==
In 1911, the original owners, the South Dutch Reformed Church, commissioned the firm of Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson, to design the Park Avenue sanctuary. The architects were clearly inspired by the features of La Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, which were translated into the stately proportions and the slender 70-foot spire (''flèche'') of its New York counterpart. Buttresses enabled the building to stand without any steel girding. In a further aspect of architectural note, many of the stained glass windows were designed by the leading artist Louis Comfort Tiffany. After passing through the hands of the Park Avenue Presbyterian Church, the building was finally acquired in 1945 by the Christian Church. The original rectory was replaced in 1963 by a much larger five storey facility which in addition to church facilities also houses the church's day school. A 56-rank organ, built by Holtkamp, was installed in 1982. Major restoration of the sanctuary building was completed in 1993. The building is an architectural "landmark" of the City of New York.
