The First Presbyterian Church, known as "Old First",[1] is a church located at 48 Fifth Avenue between West 11th and 12th Streets in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It was built in 1844–1846,[2] and designed by Joseph C. Wells in the Gothic Revival style.[3] The south transept of the building was added in 1893–1894, and was designed by the firm of McKim, Mead & White.[4][5] The church complex, which includes a parish house – now referred to as the "South Wing"[4] – on West 11th Street and a church house on West 12th Street designed by Edgar Tafel, is located within the Greenwich Village Historic District.[3]
