Labor Temple (New York, N.Y.)

Established 1910 as a mission to working-men of New York City by the Home Missions Committee of the Presbytery of New York, after a plan of Rev. Charles Stelzle. In 1915 it was formally organized as the American International Church (Presbyterian) but continued to be known as the Labor Temple. Will Durant directed the Labor Temple School until the 1930s. Its management was taken over by the Board of National Missions' Unit of City and Industrial Work in 1943 and continued as a community center and meeting place for striking workers' unions.
