Opus 1814, 1914

The Pilgrim United Church of Christ occupies buildings erected in 1910 by Christ Congregational Church of Mount Hope. As designed by Hoppin & Koen of New York City, the Georgian- or Colonial Revival-style complex was built on an irregular plot on the northeast corner of Grand Concourse and 175th Street. In the center is the sanctuary that has a domed roof of tin, painted green, and an entrance framed by a tall portico with four columns. Above the portico is a square tower that originally had a tiered steeple. All of the buildings are of red brick with white wood trim. The circular auditorium including the balcony can accomodate 370 people; plans to add side galleries were never realized. Abutting the sanctuary on the north is the four-bedroom parsonage. On the other side is the building containing an auditorium, gymasium, and meeting rooms. The completed buildings were opened on September 18, 1910, and formally dedicated the next month. A site visit in 2012 found the church to be in deteriorating condition.
The organ in Pilgrim Church was built in 1914 by M.P. Möller of Hagerstown, Md. Möller used tubular-pneumatic action for this organ. The two-manual console is attached at the base of the organ case. In 2012, the organ was found to be unplayable.
