The Brick Presbyterian Church is a large congregation at Park Avenue and 91st Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. A member of the Presbyterian Church, it is known for its Day School and music programs. Originally founded as an offshoot of First Presbyterian Church, its first building, in lower Manhattan, opened in 1768. The Park Avenue location opened April 14, 1940. ==History== The first church building was constructed on the corner of Beekman and Nassau Streets. It opened doors on New Year's Day in 1768.〔 When the congregation moved uptown, the ''New-York Daily Times'' used the site for its new headquarters, a dedicated five-story building. In 1858, the congregation moved to a new building on Murray Hill at 37th Street and Fifth Avenue since its congregation had moved further uptown. The dedication was on Oct. 31. This building was later sold and demolished in 1938 when the congregation decided to move even further uptown. The church merged with Park Avenue Presbyterian Church in 1937 and the joint congregation built the 91st St. location. The church also acquired a residence on East 92nd St. to turn it into a Parish House. The cornerstone to the current building was laid on November 25, 1938 in the presence of Mayor Fiorello La Guardia. The congregation first worshipped on 91st Street on April 14, 1940. The ''New York Times'' described the building as "a model of a colonial house of worship, is red brick with white trimmings and huge circular white pillars at the front."
