The Roman Catholic parish of Saint Joan of Arc built this three-story-and-basement convent on 83rd Street, just south of its church, in 1940-41 to plans by Henry V. Murphy, who had earlier added two stories to the parish school. Like the school, it has a stylized neo-Gothic front of brick with stone trim. Its details include a central doorway under an ornate label lintel, cusped spandrels over the bays above it, patterned brick panels beside the windows, and a battlemented parapet carrying a cartouche.
“Henry Murphy also designed the convent, which was constructed in 1940-41 on 83rd Street, south of the church.”
