Church of the Nativity, Catholic church building in East Village, Manhattan, United States.
The Church of the Nativity stands at 44 Second Avenue, between 2nd and 3rd Streets, featuring a modernist architectural design from 1970.
The original 1832 Greek Revival structure, designed by Town & Davis architects, was purchased in 1842 and converted from Presbyterian to Catholic use.
The church held the funeral mass of Dorothy Day in 1980, marking its connection to the Catholic Worker Movement in New York City.
The building underwent closure in 2015, followed by deconsecration in 2017, and was later sold to real estate developers for 40 million dollars.
A fire in 1912 destroyed the historic organ and interior of the original building, leading to extensive reconstruction efforts.
