Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe (New York City)
The Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe ((スペイン語:Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe)), was a Roman Catholic parish church under the authority of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 229 West 14th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues in the Greenwich Village section of Manhattan in New York City.
The parish was established in 1902 by the Augustinian Fathers of the Assumption as the first Spanish-speaking Catholic parish in New York City, serving working-class Spanish immigrants, mostly from Spain. At the time, that area of 14th street was considered “Little Spain” and portraited by filmmaker Artur Balder in his documentaries on Spanish immigration to New York City〔〔Remigius Lafort, S.T.D., Censor, ''(The Catholic Church in the United States of America: Undertaken to Celebrate the Golden Jubilee of His Holiness, Pope Pius X. Volume 3: The Province of Baltimore and the Province of New York, Section 1: Comprising the Archdiocese of New York and the Diocese of Brooklyn, Buffalo and Ogdensburg Together with some Supplementary Articles on Religious Communities of Women. )''. (New York City: The Catholic Editing Company, 1914), p.357.〕 The parish was merged in 2003 with the neighboring St. Bernard Parish to create the Parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe & St. Bernard.
==Building==
The church building is a former mid-19th-century brownstone rowhouse. Its conversion to a church created a double-story sanctuary. The church also included a "side chapel, tiny balcony, and clerestory." The monumental facade completed in the Spanish Baroque style or "classically proportioned Spanish Revival façade" was built in 1921 to the designs of Gustave Steinback.〔〔(Our Lady Guadalupe Organs )〕 The "transformation which makes Guadalupe extremely rare, if not unique, in the city spanned two decades and involved several notable architects...."〔 The ''AIA Guide to NYC'' (Fifth Edition, 2010) called it "an extraordinary brownstone conversion.... Its Iberian ancestry is expressed both in the language of its services and in its Spanish Colonial facade."
The church remained popular with the various Hispanic communities of New York, serving Spaniards, Spanish-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans and other Latin Americans. The rapid expansion of the Mexican population in the late 20th century, however, overwhelmed the small church, necessitating the congregation's transfer to nearby St. Bernard Church.〔
