Morning View - Riverside Church

Riverside Church, in Morningside Heights near Columbia University, was finished in 1933 and has the world's largest carillon, including the world's largest cast and tuned bell, at 20 tons. The tower is 22 stories tall and is modeled on a 13th century gothic cathedral in Chartes, France. Normally church architecture leaves me kinda "meh", but I like the Riverside because it looks I could totally see the Bat-signal beaming from the tower.
