Summary
DescriptionFirst Presbyterian Church, Symphony Circle, Allentown, Buffalo, NY - 52640668661.jpg |
English: Built in 1889-1891, this Richardsonian Romanesque-style church was designed by Edward B. Green and William S. Wicks to house the congregation of First Presbyterian Church, the oldest congregation in Buffalo, founded in 1812 when Buffalo was a small village, prior to the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 that spurred early growth in the city. The church is the third building that the congregation has occupied, with the first two having been located in downtown, with the relocation to Symphony Circle owing to the city’s growth in population and land area in the second half of the 19th Century. The building’s design was the result of a design competition, and won for featuring a picturesque asymmetrical Richardsonian Romanesque exterior clad in rusticated medina sandstone, a tall central tower that would be a prominent landmark on the city’s west side, with it remaining the tallest building in the immediate vicinity, and an interior executed in the Byzantine Revival style. The church features roman arched stained glass windows, brownstone engaged columns, two towers of different heights, with both featuring open belfries and pyramidal hipped roofs, a gabled roof with multiple gable parapets, a conical roof at the crossing between the transepts, a recessed entry porch with a prominent front wing featuring a large five-part stained glass window in a larger recessed arched bay, a circa 1925 Parish House addition to the west of the original structure, designed by E. B. Green & Sons, with a cross-gable roof, arched window openings, and a red brick exterior, and a pyramidal hipped roof at the northeast corner, and a structural stabilization system on the exterior of the central tower, added due to deterioration of the structure as it was built after the rest of the church using load bearing brick masonry that has deteriorated, rather than being made of solid medina sandstone. The church remains in use by the congregation, and is a contributing structure in the Allentown Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. |
