Christ Church, Gothic Revival church in The Bronx, United States.
Christ Church is a Gothic Revival church in The Bronx built with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses. Its red Albion sandstone exterior stands out clearly against the modern buildings that surround it today.
The church was designed by architect Richard M. Upjohn and built in 1866 during a period of rapid growth in The Bronx. It reflects architectural ideas from that era and has remained an important landmark in the neighborhood since.
The interior features soaring spaces and ornamental details that visitors can see today. The building remains woven into neighborhood life and serves the community that gathers there.
The church sits at the corner of Grand Concourse and East 141st Street and is easy to find. Regular worship services are held, and visitors interested in the building's design should ask about guided tours when they arrive.
The red Albion sandstone exterior has kept its color for more than 150 years and still stands out vividly against the gray and metallic towers around it. This distinctive coloring makes the building a visual landmark in a neighborhood that continues to change.
