caption_attribution_description: English: Central Presbyterian Church in Montclair, New Jersey from a pre-1923 postcard From RG 428, Postcard Collection, Presbyterian Historical Society, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
context_page_description: Central Presbyterian Church is an historic church located at 46 Park Street in Montclair, New Jersey, United States.
  The current church building was built in 1921 and held its dedication ceremony on Oct. 15, 1922. Over six decades later, Central Presbyterian Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
  The building was designed by architecture firms Carrere & Hastings and Shreve, Lamb & Harmon. Carrère and Hastings also designed the New York Public Library.
  The church's architecture reflects the simplicity of New England Colonial style with the Georgian style of many English churches. The church's spire was designed as a tribute to the hope and faith of the congregation, not to mention the many hands that helped build it.
  There is seating capacity for 600 people on the main floor and 340 in the balcony. Next door is the adjoining church house, which was built for the many social and religious activities the church fostered. A large gym on the second floor hosted many basketball games and a proscenium stage was designed to host church plays and benefits.

Downstairs, the Guild Room was, according to Reverend Wylie,  devoted to the Women's Guild as a “rallying center, a place of beauty of  inspiration and devotion.”
