From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: Church records show that the plans were "drawn up by Messrs. Morgan," who combined Greek Revival forms with a Georgian-inspired tower and steeple. The frame building measures seventy-five feet long by fifty-five feet wide and provides seating for about 500 persons. Dedicated on Sunday, February 27, 1853, the church was built at a cost about $5,900, of which $2,000 was a grant from the Collegiate Church of New York. On January 29, 1854, the society installed its first pastor, the Rev. John S. Himrod, for whom the street adjacent to the church would later be named. The present organ was built in 1893 by William B. Williams of New York City. As of 2010, the organ was still playable but in need of a restoration.
