St. Agnes Boys High School
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 555 West End Ave., West End Avenue-Riverside Historic District, Manhattan, NYC, NY. HDR photo… ✎ The brick and limestone building was designed by William A. Boring & built in 1907-1908 by the New York Protestant Episcopal School Corporation (aka Trinity School) to house St. Agatha’s School for Girls (established 1898). Trinity sold the building to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese in 1941 and it became the home of Cathedral College, a high school and college seminary. Since 1992, it has housed St. Agnes Boys’ High School, a Roman Catholic school formerly located on East 44th Street. The school closed in 2013 and the building was sold in 2014 to an architect/developer whose intention is to turn the building into luxury housing. The building was granted NYC landmark status in 2016. |
