Church
Boegel, William J. | Bronze Plaque for Religious Buildings | Extant | Woodside | Religious Building | 1952 |St. Theresa’s Church remains an imposing presence in this relatively low-rise and residential section of Woodside. The design is traditionally Romanesque with little in the way of modern detailing. The materials used are buff brick with limestone detailing and a tile roof. The interior includes marble and limestone and is completely fireproof. The neighboring school closed in 2005.
Long Island City Savings Bank
Halsey McCormack and Helmer | Honorable Mention | Significantly Altered | Rego Park | Bank | 1952 |This building still exists although its original use as a bank is no longer apparent. While the structure maintains its granite base, brick face, and limestone trim, the space is now used by a pharmacy and karate studio, both of whom have obscured the front with signage. Another telltale sign of the original building are two limestone medallions on either end of the facade.
