From Abyssinian to Zion: a guide to Manhattan's houses of worship By David W. Dunlap:

The words Baptist Tabernacle can still be seen over a grand doorway at Warren Hall, 168 Second Avenue, testament to the origins of this 15-story building as a Skyscraper Church, designed by Emery Roth.  It occupies the site of a Gothic sanctuary built in 1850 by the Baptist Tabernacle, founded in 1839.  The church, also know as Second Avenue Baptist, shared the block with the New York Historical Society.  The new sanctuary was built from 1928 to 1930 and played a polyglot role in the 1940s, as home to Italian, Polish, and Russian Baptist congregations.  It is now an Urban Outfitters store.

An overhead view from a similar position as the first photo c. mid-1950's.  Note that 172 East 9th Street is still standing nearly 100 years later.  Also note long-time business Kamenstein Bros. Hardware on the corner of Stuyvesant St.--Is it coincidental that another paint business was near that site in 1856?
