Madison Avenue and 24th Street, Presbyterian Church
Buildings on Madison Avenue seen from Madison Square. The old Gothic temple of the Presbyterian Church at East 24th Street is in the center. Photograph dated between 1854 and 1889.
Residences to the right of the church belonged to William H. Appleton, William E. Laimbeer and Edwin Parsons. They were all demolished to make way for the 11-story Metropolitan Life Insurance Building, on the northeast corner of 23rd Street, completed by 1890. The church, designed by architect Richard Michell Upjohn (1828-1903), was completed about December 1854 and demolished in 1906.
