Description:
|
The tall spire of Philippus United Church of Christ, 106 West McMicken Avenue, is topped by a gilded hand whose index finger points heavenward. "The façade, brick with stone trim, has unity, good proportions and a marked vertical thrust . . . It begins with a simple gabled portal, moves upward with decorative corbelling that turns into machicolations, then rises to pinnacles. Recessed pointed arched windows flank the lower tower, itself punctuated by a rose window; three small arched windows are sandwiched between rectangular panels of carved stone. The broach spire, an octagonal spire resting on a square base, culminates in the upraised finger."
