Riverside Church
The Riverside Church is being constructed on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York, NY, circa 1930. The church will accommodate the Baptist congregation, including the Rockefeller family, that has long worshipped on Fifth Avenue. Due to the generous donations of the family, including a carillon for the tower, the public has dubbed the gothic-style edifice The Rockefeller Church. (Photo by FPG/Getty Images)

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the Riverside Church rises majestically on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City. The construction of this architectural marvel, which began in the late 1920s and continued through the 1930s, was made possible by the generous donations of the Rockefeller family. The Baptist congregation, including the Rockefeller family, had long worshipped on Fifth Avenue but sought a larger and more fitting place of worship. The gothic-style edifice, with its towering spire and intricate stonework, is a testament to the grandeur and vision of its builders. The church's location on the banks of the Hudson River adds to its breathtaking beauty, with the water reflecting the church's elegant silhouette. The construction site is bustling with activity, as workers toil to complete the building's impressive structure. Construction machinery and cars are scattered about, adding a sense of industry and progress to the scene. Despite the hustle and bustle of the construction site, the photograph captures a sense of peace and tranquility. A lamppost stands sentinel at the edge of the frame, casting a warm glow over the scene. The Riverside Church, with its imposing presence and striking design, has become a beloved landmark of New York City and a symbol of the power of faith and philanthropy. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, is a captivating reminder of the church's rich history and enduring significance.
