Fort Washington Heights Presbyterian Church History
Iglesia Presbiteriana Fort Washington Heights
Fort Washington Presbyterian Church
The Fort Washington Presbyterian Church was founded in 1913, the result of a merger agreement between the West Presbyterian and Park Presbyterian Churches. When the old West Church on 42nd Street was sold for $1,100,000, the proceeds were used to build and endow a new church in the Washington Heights area of Upper Manhattan. The neighborhood is named for Fort Washington that had been erected during the American Revolution on a ridge between what are now 181st and 186th Streets.
The Fort Washington congregation remained affiliated with West Park Presbyterian until 1923. Over the years, the demographics of Washington Heights evolved to include a large Puerto Rican and Dominican population, and since 1948 Spanish-language services have been held in the church building. Fort Washington Presbyterian disbanded in 1982 and the building was turned over to the Hispanic congregation, now known as Iglesia Presbiteriana Fort Washington Heights.
Thomas Hastings (1860-1929), co-founder of the renowned architectural firm of Carrère & Hastings, designed the neo-Georian building. Hastings designed a similar building in 1904 for the First Church of Christ, Scientist, located on Central Park West at 96th Street. In May 2009, the Fort Washington church building was designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.
