The Roman Catholic parish of St. Elizabeth in Fort Washington Heights (as it was then called) was founded in 1869. Nicholas Le Brun designed the first church building, located at 4381 Broadway at 187th Street. In 1925, the church burned down and a new structure was built one block to the east on the southwest corner of Wadsworth Avenue and 187th Street.
