John Golden Theatre

The John Golden Theatre was originally built in 1927 as the Theatre Masque by real-estate magnates, the Chanin Brothers. The Golden’s interior has a Spanish influence, an example of the Mission Revival style popular on the West Coast. It seats 804.

Judson Memorial Church

Manhattan

Stanford White of the prominent New York City architectural firm McKim, Mead and White designed the church, which was constructed in 1890-92. The design was influenced by White's Italian travels; the building is modeled on an Italian church that has been described as Lombardo-Romanesque - a basilica with an adjacent tower.



John LaFarge (1835-1910), an American artist who developed the opalescent glass that was later extensively used by Tiffany, designed the 17 stained-glass windows in the Judson Memorial Church - the biggest collection of large LaFarge windows in one place in the country. They were installed between 1892 and 1915, as funds became available; the last one was installed five years after LaFarge's death by his trusted craftsman, Thomas Wright.



Particularly during the pastorates of Bob Spike (1949-55) and Howard Moody (1956-92), Judson Church became known as a venue for avant-garde arts and a foe of art censorship. These activities continue today, as Judson makes its facilities available to a wide variety of artists in dance, theater, music, and visual arts of diverse styles.
