41. Metropolitan Baptist Church 151 West 128th Street on the northeast corner of Adam C. Powell Blvd.
Originally the New York Presbyterian Church, this edifice was designed by John R. Davis in 1884; the auditorium was added in 1890 by Richard R. Davis. The white stone facade is brightened by polished orange granite columns capped by Romanesque"Afro" capitals. Note the graceful conical roof sweeping nobly towards heaven.
