Fifth Ave., west side, north from West 53rd to 54th Streets. Shown at the N.W. corner of 53rd Street is St. Thomas Protestant Episcopal Church, organized in 1823 when its first church was at Broadway and Houston Street then a rural suburb. The parish attained to a high degree of prosperity under the rectorship of Dr. Francis L. Hawks, but as early as 1843 the need of a location farther up-town began to be felt, and in 1870 the present edifice was opened for worship which was altered in 1911 to appear as shown. 1936.
