The George H. McKnight Memorial Altar
On June 17, 1907 this beautiful marble altar was dedicated to the memory of The Rev. Dr. George H. McKnight, rector of Trinity Church for thirty-six years, 1869-1905. The following description was offered by The Rt. Rev. Henry C. Potter, Bishop of New York, in his dedicatory sermon:
"The altar is of the finest white Italian marble, the length being seven feet, standing on a space about nine feet long.
"The mensa (table top) has in it an inlaid cross in green marble and is supported in front at the ends by two massive columns of white marble with carved capitols of the lily motif in high relief. The panel in front of the altar is of Venetian mosaic, the field being gold with the resurrection of lilies in pure white and leaves and stems of rich green. In the center of the field is a cross with the eternity circle treated in red with a superimposed chalice in silver, the whole producing a rich and beautiful effect in tone and color."
The memorial was designed by Charles R. Lamb and executed and erected by the firm of J. & R. Lamb.
