All Souls Church, of Unitarian Universalist denomination, stands on
East 80th and Lexington Avenue in the City of New York. The
church's architecture is aptly described as New England Georgian
and its cornerstone was laid in 1932. The congregation has a longer
history, having been founded in 1819, and thus, has occupied three
other church buildings in the borough of Manhattan. The story of
All Souls can fill volumes. This is the story of All Souls'
migrations and its churches' architectural histories. How did a
small group of Unitarians build their first church in less than two
years by 1821? How did they manage to construct a Gothic church for
their second building when such a style was forbidden to be used
for any sects that were not Episcopalian, Presbyterian or Catholic?
What was the basis for the stature of their achievement in having
their third structure, the first Ruskin-inspired edifice in the
Americas? Does the architecture of the last building evoke core
beliefs of the faith of Unitarian Universalism? What do the moves
of All Souls say about Manhattan? Come and explore this exciting
investigation in urban architectural history.
