Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church (Manhattan)

The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church is a Greek Orthodox church on Manhattan's Upper West Side at West End Avenue and West 91st Street.

History

The church was built by Heins & LaFarge in (189394) as the Fourth Presbyterian Church. The church was sold to a Greek parish in 1952.[1]

Architecture

The rusticated masonry façade with a sparing use of Venetian Gothic and Richardsonian Romanesque details and the square corner bell tower with a crenellated parapet embellished with gargoyle gutter-spouts reveal Richardson's training. Fine stained glass may be from Tiffany studios, or may be by John LaFarge, the architect's father, which would make them even rarer.[1][2][3]
