This set of chairs were part of the dedication when the Riverside Church and each has a plaque commemorating the event. Measurements: 18.5" W x 38" T x 21" D. On Sunday, Feb. 8, 1931, members of the newly constructed Riverside Church of New York City, gathered for the dedication of their building. Although Gothic in style, it was altogether American in conception. Its tower makes it the tallest church in the United States and the 24th tallest in the world. But what made the church so very American is that it included not only space for worship and education but also a gym, a library, and room and equipment for many social outreach programs. It is also remarkable in that it was almost entirely funded by one man – Baptist layman and oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, Jr. – and built to serve as a platform for a remarkable preacher – Harry Emerson Fosdick.

Very Good Condition with some age and wear.
