Seen in the Bronx this morning
Courtesy of Emilio Guerra: "That's the Church of the Mediator. It's an Episcopal parish in very hard times, and I don't know what they're going to do with it, since, like you say, they do not appear to have any services. It was designed by Henry Vaughn, the architect of the National Cathedral, and finished in 1917. It was one of the most prosperous churches in the Bronx, and they went all the way with it, Tiffany windows, Skinner organ, the works. All the scions of the Bronx worshiped there: Van Cortlandts, Delafields, Valentines...Alas, no more."
Thank you, Emilio!
