Located at the northwest corner of Park Avenue and 60th Street, the church was built primarily during 1931-1933. Church services began in 1933 but financial impacts of the Great Depression and shortages of World War II prevented the mosaics planned for the interior from being executed until 1948-49. The church was designed by Ralph Adams Cram, who is known for his Gothic Revival ecclesiastical architecture. While designing this church, he used a combination of Romanesque and Byzantine Revival styles instead. In addition to its operation as a church, Christ Church has operated an early childhood day school since 1949.
