▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 5th Ave. & 53rd St., Manhattan, NYC, NY. HDR photo... ✞ Designed by the distinguished architectural firm of Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson & completed in 1913, Saint Thomas Church is built in the French High Gothic style, with stone ornamentation of the later Flamboyant period. Except for its length, Saint Thomas is of cathedral proportions, with the nave vault rising 95 feet above the floor. The church is built completely of stone, according to medieval construction principles, using load-bearing rib vaulting. The church will be celebrating its centennial in May of 2014. You can find out more about this church on its website. |
