☞ REMEMBER: 267 Lenox Avenue circa 1910

A photo from 1910 shows what was then the Lenox Reformed Collegiate Church at the corner of West 123rd Street and Lenox Avenue.  Today, the building has been placed under the careful hands of the Ephesus Seventh-Day Adventist Church which rebuilt the spire over a 9 year period after it was damaged from a fire in 1969.  As an article from Harlem historian Michael Henry Adams points out, the tall church tower in the Mount Morris Park Historic District is known by old timers as "The Finger of God."  Read more about this building in the Huffington Post feature: LINK
