The Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe was established in 1902 by the Augustinians of the Assumption as the first Spanish-speaking Catholic parish in New York City, serving the working-class Spanish community of what was then known as "Little Spain" on West 14th Street. Architect Gustave E. Steinback gave the converted brownstone rowhouse a monumental Spanish Baroque facade.
the building
A converted rowhouse. The church occupies a former mid-19th-century brownstone rowhouse, converted into a double-story sanctuary with a side chapel, a tiny balcony, and a clerestory.
the style
Steinback's facade was completed in the Spanish Baroque style, dressing a plain rowhouse conversion in ornament suited to its role as a parish church.
