MAS Manhattan Survey
Story
Between 1954 and 1957, the Municipal Art Society surveyed historic buildings in all five boroughs to create a database of potential landmarks to preserve. Local residents and MAS staff compiled individual sheets devoted to about 200 buildings. Each sheet outlined the building’s date, location, and style and provided a description and a small photograph. This is the list of Manhattan buildings.

John Street Methodist Church ARCHITECT: Philip Embury DATE: 1841 STYLE: Anglo-Italianate Among its important qualities, the John Street Methodist Church is an outstanding example of the best architecture produced on a small scale in the Anglo-Italianate style. As the first home in New York City of Methodism, it serves as a fitting and important symbol of that faith. The church has remained virtually untouched in the heart of the financial district. This church is notable for its simple dignity, having as a central feature an extremely handsome Palladian window placed directly above the broad main entrance door.
