2020-11-20 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: James H. Giles is believed to have designed the Greene Avenue church, which is similar to the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, built in 1860-62 by Grimshaw & Morrill, in that it has two unequal towers flanking a prominent facade, and features round arches. In 1890, the church was renovated by architect R.H. Robertson, who added a beehive spire on the taller tower. Robertson also built the ornate porch, designed a new chapel, and redecorated the chancel in the Byzantine style. At some point, the name was changed to "Church of the Messiah and Incarnation," most likely due a merger with the Church of the Incarnation. On February 10, 1969, the church was destroyed in a five-alarm fire. More than 40 companies and 200 men, some from Manhattan, were called to the scene, but efforts were hampered by snowdrifts and high winds. -Jeff Scofield
