Those prefabricated panels appear to be solidly constructed components for the building facade and the windows; and they are quite nice looking as well. Artful appearance and efficient assembly; looks like a very well done facade. 🤩 ![6849e3415db9264d3aa3f6ee_image (12)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/c/4/c406e13511acaa07ef94dadc712f2a0fc8d6c507.jpeg) [https://www.instagram.com/p/DQnB75mDocj/](https://www.instagram.com/p/DQnB75mDocj/) ---

It is a bit sad to see this Unitarian historic church demolished. The architecture was quite nice in an odd way: not sure what that architectural style was - but it had ‘style’. Well as the billboard in front of the old church says - "_Everything in nature is resurrection"._ 😇 **Farewell fine old building; may you come back to life after death in a different form.** 😍 ![40 East 35th Street 9.35](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/4/c/4c68201d8714bda2f79c7e5a57b2b6f0776366d1.jpeg) ---

I **nteresting historical excerpt from ChatGPT -** Here’s a detailed overview of the **Unitary church in Manhattan** that was **recently demolished to make way for a new condo development** — specifically the historic site in **Murray Hill** : ### 🕍 **The Church: Community Church of New York** - It was located at **40 East 35th Street in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan** and had been the congregation’s home from **1948 until 2022**. - This church was more than just an architectural landmark — it played a **significant role in social activism and cultural life in New York City** over many decades. The congregation was involved in civil rights causes and hosted notable figures, including **Pete Seeger** , **Nelson Mandela** , and a prominent 1960s debate between **Malcolm X** and **Bayard Rustin**. ### 🧱 **Modern / International Style Design** - The building, constructed between **1940 and 1948** , was designed by the firm **Magoon & Salo**. - It exhibits characteristics of **Modernist architecture** — _a style that emerged in the early to mid-20th century_ with an emphasis on **simple forms, lack of ornamentation, and direct expression of structure and materials**. - The exterior was primarily **red brick with minimal decorative detailing** , arranged in a straightforward, geometric way with **vertical window bands and asymmetrical massing** — traits commonly associated with post-war modern design in urban contexts. - Architectural historians describe it as part of the **Modern Movement** and note the design’s awareness of its dense Manhattan setting, where traditional church ornamentation was simplified or omitted in favor of clean lines and functional spaces. ### 🏙 **Modern Ecclesiastical Architecture** - Unlike older Unitarian buildings (many of which historically used **Greek or Romanesque Revival** styles), this mid-century church reflected the congregation’s **progressive and non-denominational orientation** — a message expressed through its **modern architectural language** rather than traditional religious symbolism. - The design favored **theater-style seating and unobstructed interior sightlines** , which were in line with mid-20th-century concepts of community worship spaces focused on inclusivity and visibility. In summary, rather than echoing historic church styles like Gothic or Classical Revival, the **Community Church of New York’s final building was an example of mid-century modern and International-style architecture — simple, geometric, and expressive of its time**. **End Quote.** ---

Yes. A blend of late Deco/early International. One of a kind in its own way. ---

Exactly. The other interesting - and unique - feature is the fact that almost all other churches have an architectural design that is some variation of Romanesque or Gothic. _If ever there was a good case for landmark status; this was a truly “rare” and “unique” building in every respect. 🤔_ ---

I like the building but what was there before in my opinion was superior. A unique piece of mid-century architecture. Wish they had preserved the facade somehow. ---
