==Early history==
St. Monica's Roman Catholic Church was constructed by master mason Anders Peterson under the direction of Reverend Anthony Farley.〔Document. Anonymous. "Landmarks Preservation Commission." March 13, 1979. Designation List 124 LP-1017. Saint Monica's Church.〕 The Church is marked by its distinctive central campanile, which is reminiscent of the Romanesque architecture.〔 This also made it one of the earliest surviving examples of Early Romanesque Revival architecture in New York, and one of the only Roman Catholic Churches in the city executed in this style.〔 Father Anthony Farley arrived in at St. Monica's in 1854 to begin his influential term as its pastor and to help with the plans for the construction of a new church on five lots of land on Washington Street (160th Street).〔 Four such lots near the old frame church were given to the Church by a French woman from New York and Farley purchased the fifth.〔 The cost for this church's construction was $25,000.〔Article.Anonymous. "Jamaica History Friends Fight to Keep Historic St. Monica's." 1 JUN. 1978.〕 Farley selected Jamaica master mason Anders Peterson, a Dane who also owned a local grist mill, as the contractor.〔 Peterson was prominently familiar with the contemporary building history of the area and was responsible for the fine masonry of the First Reformed Church (1861-1863) and that of Grace Episcopal Church (1861-1863).〔 The cornerstone of the building was laid in 1856 and on August 15, 1857, Bishop Loughlin, the first Bishop of Brooklyn, presided over the dedication of the church.〔
St. Monica's Roman Catholic Church was designed as a red brick Romanesque Revival style building with a tall central campanile and an Italian flavor.〔Article. Gray, Christopher. "An Elegant Romanesque Edifice Ruined by Neglect." New York Times. 1 JUL. 1990.〕 the structure was given "an impression of height beyond its actual size" by slender pilasters outlining the brick.〔 Most of the building's modest decoration was made so by the delicate brick situated on the top of the side walls.〔 The insdie of the church is a great open hall, which has been redecorated twice in a much higher style (during 1893 and the 1930s).〔 It was constructed with no interior columns for support; the interior was made spacious and could seat 500 people.〔 During the 1940s, Mario M. Cuomo was an altar boy for this church.〔
