Founded as Holy Angels parish in 1854, this was the first German national parish in Queens County. The parish was later named St. Mary's, then St. Mary's Winfield and is now known as Blessed Virgin Mary Help of Christians. Until 1949, this area of Woodside was called Winfield.
St. Michael parish predates the founding of the Diocese of Brooklyn. The parish's official founding was in 1848 (making it the third oldest in Queens County), but parish lore says that services began here in 1833. The church itself was constructed in 1962, designed by the prolific architect John O'Malley.
Parish Center and Institute for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish, Astoria, Queens.
Originally constructed circa 1891, the convent was enlarged and refaced in a stripped down Moderne style in 1955 under designs by Diocesan architect William Boegel.
Real Estate Record lists this as two buildings on Grand Street, "ss, 80 w Bushwick av". The description would point to 806 and 808 Grand Street, however these are part of a larger row of Italianate buildings and 806 is only 25' wide. 812 Grand Street, which is only 38' west of Bushwick Avenue, is a 30' wide neo-Grec building of this period; 808 next door is also 30' wide, but appears to be part of the Italianate row.
Block of 8 dwellings and stores, on the south side of Grand Street starting one building west of Leonard Street.
Pair of transitional Greek Revival/Italianate stores and residences, probably circa 1850.
A rare (and perhaps early?) non-ecclesiastical building designed by Thomas Houghton.
