TheChurch of the Immaculate Conception and Clergy House at 406–412East 14th Street betweenFirst Avenue andAvenue A in theEast Village neighborhood ofManhattan,New York City were built in 1894–1896 byGrace Church, one of the most prominentEpiscopal churches in the city at the time. The buildings were a free chapel – meaning there was nopew rent[2] – calledGrace Chapel and a connectedGrace Hospital, which could serve 16 senior citizens and 10 children, and was physically connected to the chapel by a bridge, so that patients could be wheeled to services.[3]
They were designed byBarney and Chapman inFrench Gothic style. The firm was working at the same time on theChurch of the Holy Trinity inYorkville, which was also designed in the same style. Grace Chapel has stained-glass windows byClayton & Bell andHenry Holiday. In 1943 both buildings were sold to theRoman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, and were converted for the use of theImmaculate Conception Church, founded in 1855, as a sanctuary and Clergy House.[4]
The buildings were designated aNew York City landmark in 1966,[5] and were added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1980.[6]
