August Eickelberg

Season's greetings to Central Presbyterian Church.
I would like to ask a question regarding a brief article which appeared in The New York Times, Page 13 on Monday December 31, 1923. The article reads as follows:
"Unveil Tablet to August Eickelberg.
A tablet in memory of August Eickelberg was unveiled yesterday after the morning service in the Central Presbyterian Church, Madison Avenue and Fifty-seventh Street. Mr. Eickelberg, who died April 30, [1923] was sexton of this church for fifty-six years, and was custodian of the work of the Grand Lodge of Masons of New York.
The tablet is of bronze; and it has been placed in the vestibule where Mr. Eickelberg was to be found before and after every service to welcome everyone who entered the church.
The service was presided over by the Rev. Dr. Dwight Witherspoon Wylie, pastor of the church. An address was delivered by Moses Altman, Past District Deputy Grand Master of the Seventh District of the lodge. The tablet was unveiled by Elliott Eickelberg, 7 years old, who is a grandson of Mr. Eickelberg."
My question: Does the above mentioned tablet continue to hang in Central Presbyterian's current location? Thank You For Your Kind Attention,

Best Wishes, Victor Ernst, Toronto, Canada.
