First Church of Christ, Scientist ARCHITECT: Carrère & Hastings DATE: 1899-1903 STYLE: Beaux-Arts

The First Church of Christ, Scientist, built in 1899-1903 at the northwest of Central Park West and 96th Street was designed in the finest tradition of Beaux-Arts classicism. Although the architects of his church designed a few churches, the Christian Science building is very much in keeping with its designs for other public buildings.
