Case Study
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church Despite its strength, a historic building is just as susceptible to the passage of time as anything else. This is certainly true of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City, which has stood as a testament to craftsmanship and resilience since 1875. Over 140 years of harsh winters and general wear and tear had begun to loom large on the old church spires, and in order to save them from the grip of time, it would require time-tested skill. That tremendous skill would be provided by a pair of talented construction teams: Ford 3 Architects and Deerpath Construction Corporation. The squad of architects at Ford 3 has a knack for finding the balance between historic and contemporary influences, which made them ideal for the FAPC project.
