Richmond on Staten Island in Richmond County, New York — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
St. Patrick's Church
Designated Landmark
| | New York City | |
St. Patrick's Church is representative of an early phase of the Romanesque Revival style of architecture. Built in 1862, it has remained, relatively unaltered since it was completed. Its light-colored brick walls provide an effective contrast to the dark brown doorway and, indeed, the charm of this simple building depends largely on the interesting play of light and shadow on its smooth walls. The 19th century wrought-iron lamps which flank the entrance lend distinction to the structure.
Erected 1973 by The New York Community Trust.
