John's Pizzeria at 260 West 44th Street is on the bottom two floors of a 6-story building – the bottom two floors having originally been an auditorium for the Christian Alliance. The building adjoins what used to be the Gospel Tabernacle Church, which were part of an L-shaped edifice covering 4 lots on the East side of Eighth Avenue and the South side of West 44th Street. In addition to the auditorium, the complex housed three chapels, and an educational building for a Christian Alliance Training Institute, a book store on the ground floor, and a missionary home or Christian hotel with accommodations for about 100 guests. H.E. Hartwell Glass Works (Horace Edgar Hartwell), as creditor, is listed in an August 3, 1889, publication as having released on July 19, 1889, a mechanics lien back to the Gospel Tabernacle, as debtor. In 1890, the Gospel Tabernacle Church maintained
  1. Gospel Tabernacle, 690–692 Eighth Ave.
  2. Alliance House, 258–260 W. 44th St. (beginning 1977, it was Covenant House's "Under 21," a refuge for runaway kids)
