St. Thomas Episcopal Church

It only took two years (1911-1913) to build this magnificent structure on 5th Avenue. Designed in Gothic style with limestone and Kentucky sandstone without metal framing, the stunning interior contains wonders like the oak beamed ceiling, and decorations that seem almost pagan, celebrating the four seasons and the ancient Greek elements of earth, water, air and fire. Below, the shields of the Allied Nations mark a memorial to the victims of the Second World War, with names of the district's faithful who fought and died inscribed here. On the other side, another memorial lists the dead of the First World War.
