The church was completed in 1914, displaying the classic gothic style from the french medieval period. The fascinating thing about this church is the fact that it is stone built upon stone. No steel reinforcements are used as Cram followed with the developments of architecture making it possible to keep the structure upright.
It is situation right in the heart of a busy typical street, in New York, emphasising how religion can be seen as a little out of place (literally and symbolically) but still popular in everyday life giving faith and hope to the modern age.
