Description: The Crenshaw Christian Center East was opened in 2001 by the Ever Increasing Faith Ministry, based in Los Angeles, in the former First Church of Christ, Scientist at 1 West 96th Street on the corner of Central Park West. The building was designed by Carrere & Hastings in the style of Nicholas Hawksmoor (a combination of English Baroque and French Beaux-Arts detailing) and was built in 1899-1903. In 2003, the congregation, which had moved to the Second Church, put the building up for sale, and it was purchased by the ministry in 2004. The building, which features stained-glass windows by John LaFarge, was designated a NYC landmark in 1974. (Sources: Guide to NYC Landmarks (4th ed.), AIA Guide to NYC (4th ed.), From Abyssinian to Zion (2004) and "About Us: The Facility" on the Crenshaw Christian Center East website). In January 2018 the Children's Museum of Manhattan announced that it had acquired the building.
