St. Monica's Church, Roman Catholic church in Jamaica, Queens, United States
St. Monica's Church features a four-story entrance tower at the center of its brick basilica structure, built in Romanesque Revival style.
The church cornerstone was laid in 1856 under Reverend Anthony Farley's direction, with master mason Anders Peterson leading the construction for 25,000 dollars.
The building transformed from a religious center to a childcare facility, maintaining its architectural heritage while serving new community needs.
Located at coordinates 40.701944, -73.798056, the facility now functions as a daycare center accommodating 100 children on York College campus.
The structure stands without interior support columns, creating an open space that originally seated 500 people for religious services.
