12-20-08 Fourth Church of Christ Scientist

The Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist was built between 1916 and 1922 in the Roman Revival style with an exterior clad in glazed terra cotta, and a two-story portico, with a pediment supported by six classical columns, forming the grand entrance on 8th Ave at Seneca St which is opposite the view shown here. The layout of the building is nearly square, with a large dome at the center of the roof. Directly across the street is the First Presbyterian Church with a large cross at the top of its lit up tower.
