The building was built in 1889 by the Forty-First Street Presbyterian Church.  The congregation merged with that of First Presbyterian Church in 1912, retaining the building and the First Church name.  In 1926, the building was sold to the Metropolitan Community Church and First Church moved to a new building where  Moller 4/47 Op. 5001 was installed in 1928.  In 2003, the old First Church building with the Skinner was sold to the newly-formed Metropolitan Apostolic Community Church.
