Museum's caption reads: "West Presbyterian Church. N.W. side of Carmine Street near Varick Street." Dakin and Fay, cited below, Chapter 7, p. 54: "Presbyterian Church, Carmine, Head of Varick Street. This recently erected edifice is one of the handsomest places of worship in the city, and the creditable manner in which it has been constructed is an honour to the respectable congregation which frequents it. It is built of white marble, in a chaste doric style, and the front has a very imposing appearance, being modelled after the celebrated ruins of the Temple of Jason, at Illisus. The interior is elegantly finished, and the whole is a very conspicuous ornament to the street."
