Guardian Angel Church Architectural gem

193 10th Avenue (at 21st Street) New York, NY 10011 +1 212 929 5966 http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/medny/plaut.html

New Yorkers, numbed by constant grandeur, too often pass architectural gems without noticing. But buildings such as this one deserve attention. It is a Roman Catholic church built in the early Romanesque style in the 1930s by John Van Pelt, and modeled after the Clunic Abbey of Saint Peter in Moissac (France). There is a lavish sculpture, an ornate portal, and a vivid story in stone of the life of Christ. No tours are given. Mass is held at 5p Saturday, and 9a and noon on Sunday. Review © 2009, Wcities
