This space serves as the Community Hall of our parish. We host all of our Church events in this venue, and thus ask that you please conduct your event in an appropriate manner and in accordance with the spirit of a house of worship.
We are located at the SW corner of Lexington and E 103rd Street, right next to the subway stop for the 6 train in Upper Manhattan.
Our community moved into this building in 1931 and purchased it fully in 1938. The Church itself was built in the 1890s and was inspired from the German version of the Romanesque Revival known as Rundbogenstil. Hints of Gothic Revival appear on the outside structure of the Church in the terra cotta detailing of the brick eyebrows over the arched openings, as well as in the engaged granite and terra cotta columns flanking the main entrance. The delicately arched brick corbel tables that outline the upper facade and bell tower also soften the stern Germanic architecture.
The Community Hall of the Church has two main entrances. The first entrance is located on the side at 140 East 103rd Street, and is accessible via stairs. The second entrance is located in the front on Lexington Avenue, and is at the ground level. This entrance has large, newly installed double doors that open wide in order to accommodate large objects that need to be moved inside or outside the hall.
While the Community Hall has been renovated, it still retains much of the original spirit and decorative features that are particular to the characteristic styling and design of the overall church edifice.
