Although the Metropolitan Community United Methodist Church was founded in 1942, the edifice it occupies has served Methodists ever since it was built from 1869-71 for St. James Methodist Episcopal Church of Harlem. Rembrandt Lockwood designed the neo-Gothic building that features a noble bell tower and a spacious vaulted interior with galleries on three sides. |
