St. Cecilia's Church and Convent, Romanesque Revival church in Manhattan, United States

The church building features broad stone arches, round windows, and a symmetrical facade designed by architect Napoleon LeBrun in the 1870s.

St. Cecilia's Church, established in 1873, represents the expansion of Catholic institutions during the rapid urban development of nineteenth-century New York.

The religious complex combines a church and convent, reflecting the educational and spiritual needs of Manhattan's Catholic population in the late 1800s.

Located at the intersection of East 105th Street, the church maintains regular mass schedules and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture.

The structure earned dual recognition as both a New York City Landmark and National Register of Historic Places listing for its architectural merit.
