Leopold Eidlitz (March 10, 1823,[1] in Prague, Bohemia – March 22, 1908, in New York City) was an American architect best known for his work on the New York State Capitol (Albany, New York, 1876–1881), as well as "Iranistan" (1848), P. T. Barnum's house in Bridgeport, Connecticut; St. Peter's Church, on Westchester Avenue at St. Peter's Avenue in the Bronx (1853); the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Montague Street in Brooklyn (1861, destroyed by fire 1903); the former Temple Emanu-El (New York, 1866–68, destroyed 1927); the Broadway Tabernacle (1859, demolished about 1907); the completion of the Tweed Courthouse (1876–81); and the Park Presbyterian Chapel on West 86th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.[2]

^Park Presbyterian Chapel and Church have been the subject of a heated preservation battle in New York's Upper West Side. The main sanctuary, which occupies the corner lot, was added in a sympathetic style by Henry F. Kilburn (1889); Eidlitz had designed the first Park Presbyterian Church (West-Park Presbyterian Church (New York City)) at 84th Street and 11th (now West End) Avenue in 1854, when the Upper West Side was still suburban.
