Salvation Army Headquarters (Manhattan)

The Salvation Army Headquarters, located at 120–130 West 14th Street in Manhattan, is a striking example of Art Deco architecture designed by Ralph Thomas Walker. Completed between 1928 and 1930, the complex features a four-story auditorium known as the Centennial Memorial Temple, a 12-story office building, and a 17-story dormitory named the Markle Evangeline. The building is a designated New York City landmark and showcases a unique facade of cast stone and buff brick, with decorative elements that create a textile-like appearance. Originally established in the 1890s, the headquarters has a rich history of serving the community and continues to host various events. Visitors can appreciate its architectural significance and the historical context of its location in the vibrant Chelsea and Greenwich Village neighborhoods.
