Fourth Universalist Society of New York, Religious building on Central Park West in Manhattan, United States.
The Fourth Universalist Society of New York is a religious building located at West 76th Street and Central Park West in Manhattan. It showcases English Perpendicular Gothic architecture with a distinctive tower as its defining feature.
The congregation was founded in 1838 and constructed their current building in 1898. The design drew inspiration from Oxford's Magdalen Tower and reflected the architectural ideals of the late 1800s.
The interior features an altar by Louis Comfort Tiffany and stained glass windows by Clayton and Bell that create a reverent space. These artistic works reveal how the congregation valued craftsmanship and beauty as expressions of faith.
The building is conveniently located near public transportation and easily accessible from Central Park West. Check ahead before visiting to confirm current opening hours and service schedules.
The building's tower becomes NBC's command center for coverage of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade every November. This transforms the location into a central broadcast hub during one of the nation's largest television events.
