Church of the Intercession, Episcopal church in Hamilton Heights, Manhattan, United States
The Church of the Intercession stands at 550 West 155th Street, featuring English Perpendicular style entrances and decorated period tracery in its stone structure.
Founded in 1846, the congregation moved to its current Gothic Revival sanctuary in 1915, designed by architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue at the border of Hamilton Heights.
The church holds the annual Clement Clarke Moore Festival, celebrating the author of 'A Visit from Saint Nicholas' who rests in the adjacent Trinity Cemetery.
