St. Nicholas Collegiate Reformed Protestant Dutch Church, Reformed Protestant Dutch church in Midtown Manhattan, United States

The Gothic Revival brownstone structure occupied the northwest corner of Fifth Avenue and 48th Street, featuring a tall tapered spire and decorative stonework.

Completed in 1872 by architect W. Wheeler Smith, the church traced its congregation's origins to 1628 as Manhattan's oldest religious community.

The church held memorial services for prominent figures, including President Theodore Roosevelt in 1919, reflecting its status in New York society.

The building stood near Rockefeller Center until 1949, when it was demolished to make way for the Sinclair Oil Company Building at 596 Fifth Avenue.

The church bell, originally from Middle Collegiate Church in the 1830s, was later transferred to New Middle Collegiate Church on Second Avenue.
