St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church
St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, Gothic Catholic church in Chelsea, Manhattan, New York.
The stone church features arched windows, doorways, and a distinct bell tower housing five bells that ring throughout the day.
Napoleon LeBrun designed this sandstone church in 1871, completing construction in 1872, with the spire addition following in 1890.
The parish initially served German Catholics as Manhattan's second Catholic congregation, following the establishment of St. Nicholas Church in 1833.
Located at 211 West 30th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, the church building accommodates 1,200 people for regular services.
The structure faces potential removal due to Penn Station expansion plans, despite its National Register of Historic Places designation.
