Saint Thomas Church,
a New York City landmark, is located at Fifth Avenue and 53rd Street.
Designed by the distinguished architectural firm of Cram, Goodhue and
Ferguson in the French High Gothic style, the church was completed in
1913. Saint Thomas is built completely of stone according to medieval
construction principles, using load-bearing rib vaulting without the space-spanning
benefits of steel; the nave vault rises 95 feet above the floor.
