St. John the Martyr's Church, Catholic church in Upper East Side, Manhattan, US.
St. John the Martyr's Church occupied a corner location at 250 East 72nd Street, featuring architectural elements designed by R.H. Robertson in 1887.
The Catholic congregation acquired the former Knox Memorial Presbyterian Church building in 1904 for $39,000 under the leadership of Reverend John T. Prout.
The church contained valuable artworks, including paintings by Albert Zimmermann and Alphonse Mucha, plus a reliquary holding over 60 certified religious artifacts from Rome.
The parish served 4,000 members until its closure in 2015, when it merged with St. John Nepomucene and St. Frances Xavier Cabrini parishes.
A set of ten bells, gifted by banker Christian Young, rang for the first time on New Year's Day 1905, marking celebrations throughout the church's active years.
