Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons Preached at the Dedication of the Broadway Tabernacle, New York: Sunday, April 24, 1859 The original Broadway Tabernacle was erected in 1836, upon a lot one hundred feet square in the rear of No. 340 Broadway, with an entrance from the street at that point. It was occupied at first by a free church, of the Presbyterian order; but in 1840 it passed into the hands of the Broadway Tabernacle Church, then newly organized upon Congregational principles. For twenty-one years this spacious edifice provided accommodations for multitudes of young men and strangers desiring to hear the gospel, and for the great convocations of Christians during the Anniversary week, and on kindred occasions. But the encroachments of business compelling families to remove up town, made it difficult, if not impossible, longer to sustain a church in that locality; and in 1857 the Tabernacle was sold, and the last religious service was held within its walls on the 26th of April in that year. A site was selected for the new Tabernacle at the intersection of Broadway, Sixth avenue, and Thirty-fourth street, nearly three miles north of the old location, and the building was completed in April, 1859. It would be difficult to find in the city a more conspicuous site for a public edifice. The Tabernacle faces the Sixth avenue, which Broadway here crosses diagonally. It is built upon a lot which measures 100 feet on the avenue by 150 feet on Thirty-fourth street; and the building is 89 feet 8 inches front, and 150 deep, including the chapel in the rear, which is under the same roof. The main audience-room is 76 feet wide by 90 feet in depth in the clear, exclusive of the recess for the pulpit; the entire length from the pulpit screen to the front wall is 118 feet.
