Manhattan Church in Skyscraper Hotel Home to Mormon Ward
In Manhattan Towers at 76th Street and Broadway a unique skyscraper church sits within a hotel. The Congregationalists vacated two years ago and the LDS Manhattan ward led by Bishop Roscoe Grover now uses the space. Mr. Roscoe Turner helps place church members in jobs through Social Security, aiding over 30 members recently. The church’s main entrance faces Broadway, but the building prioritizes the hotel. The auditorium resembles a typical Congregational space with large colored-glass windows, though many bulbs have burned out, dimming worship.
