The Tenth Church of Christ, Scientist, has been at its present location since 1921, occupying a former factory building designed in 1890 by Renwick, Aspinwall and
Russell. In 1966,
the building's facade was radically altered by Victor
Christ-Janer & Associates. Around 2010, the building was redesigned to include more windows. The church space is on the lower floors, above which are 9 residential condominiums.
