Church of The Incarnation.

The Episcopal Church of the Incarnation on 38th Street and Madison Avenue was built in 1864 and is a gem of building. I followed a man inside who quickly knelt in prayer in one of the pews and the first thing I noticed besides the dimly lit cavern of dark mahogany, stone, and glass art windows was the smell. It was of strong musty old wooden furniture. The smell was in stark contrast to that outside of industry and pollution that when I walked in the world literally transformed between two opposites.
