St. Augustine's Church, Gothic Revival church in Lower East Side, Manhattan, United States.
St. Augustine's Church stands at 290 Henry Street, featuring a double pediment, projecting tower, and walls built from Manhattan schist stone.
The church construction occurred between 1827 and 1829 under architect John Heath, following its establishment as a mission by General Theological Seminary students in 1819.
The church includes architectural elements that combine Georgian and Gothic Revival styles, reflecting the religious architectural preferences of early 19th century Manhattan.
The building expanded in 1848 with additional sanctuary and chancel spaces to accommodate the growing number of congregants attending services.
The structure contains galleries that local tradition associates with slave use, despite its construction taking place after New York State's emancipation declaration.
