Judson Memorial Church is a rare example of the Italian Renaissance Eclectic style. Along with its companion buildings Judson Hall and the Tower, it forms a superior architectural composition unsurpassed in New York City. The bands of superb terra-cotta ornament alternating with two courses of recessed yellow Roman brick continue in horizontal bands around the first floor of the north and east elevations.
