New York Monday #34 – Riverside Church

July 31, 2006 | Filed Under New York Monday

I love to go into churches. Two of the things I love about them are the architecture and design. I enjoy the obvious designs to the incredibly detailed small ones. There are many churches around the city. Riverside Church is one.

Have a great week!

I feel the same way about churches and architecture. These are beautiful photos.
I hope I can visit this place someday, with you as the tour guide

Sad to say, I don’t think Riverside will ever again allow visitors to the bell tower. The reason it closed wasn’t just structural testing, but the rebuilding of the carillon, which took about 7 years.

AIUI, something about the new configuration of the bells means they can’t allow people up any longer, which sounds permanent.

Thanks for the update, Paul. It will be very sad indeed if visitors aren’t allowed up in the observatory tower. Very sad indeed.
