The Church of the Fourth Universalist Society was built in 1897-98 and designed by William A. Potter in an academic revival of the late English Gothic called the Perpendicular style. The design is executed in smooth-faced limestone ashlar. Located at the Southwest corner of Central Park West and West 76th Street, the church is dominated by the four-stage pinnacle tower. A gabled nave, pointed-arch openings, and large stained-glass windows with ogival tracery are notable elements of the design. Prototypes for the design include Gloucester Cathedral and the Magdalen College Tower, Oxford.
