United Presbyterian Church and Rectory, Gothic church in Albany, United States.
The United Presbyterian Church is a Carpenter Gothic-style church building from the 1890s featuring white spires and detailed woodwork on its exterior. The structure displays characteristic Gothic elements with decoratively worked wooden components throughout.
Architect Walter D. Pugh designed this religious building in 1891 for the local Presbyterian congregation. The structure received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
The church houses a Kimball pipe organ from 1906 that continues to fill the interior with music during services. This instrument remains central to the worship experience for the congregation gathered here.
The building stands within Albany's Monteith Historic District, so it can be seen on foot while walking that neighbourhood's streets. It is now occupied by the Whitespires Berean Bible Fellowship, also called the Berean Fundamental Church of Albany; visitors should confirm service times with that congregation before coming.
The building is also called Whitespires, and since its Presbyterian congregation left it has housed the Whitespires Berean Bible Fellowship, also known as Berean Fundamental Church of Albany. The 1906 Kimball pipe organ remains inside.
