Riverside Church

From a flyer obtained inside the church: "The church is interdenominational. It is affiliated with both the United Church of Christ and the American Baptist Churches and cooperates with the Council of Churches in the City of New York as well as the State, National, and World Councils of Churches... THe church is modeled after the 13th Century Gothic Cathedral in Chartres, France. Construction began in 1927 with the first service held on October 5, 1930. The Nave seats over 2100 worshipers. The 20-floor tower contains meeting rooms and the 74-bell Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Carillon. The Carillon's 20-ton Bourdon bell is the largest tuned bell in the world. The smallest bell is 10 pounds." See Riverside Church web site.
