Grace Church builds the French Gothic Revival chapel and hospital at 406-414 East 14th Street
Between 1894 and 1896, Grace Church, a prominent Episcopal congregation, builds a free chapel with no pew rent and a connected hospital on East 14th Street. Architects Barney & Chapman design the buildings in French Gothic style. The hospital can serve 16 older residents and 10 children and is joined to the chapel by a bridge, so patients can be wheeled to services. The chapel has stained-glass windows by Clayton & Bell and Henry Holiday.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese buys the complex for Immaculate Conception Church
In 1943, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York buys both Grace Church buildings on East 14th Street. They are converted into a sanctuary and clergy house for the Church of the Immaculate Conception, a parish founded in 1855. The Episcopal chapel and hospital thus become a Catholic parish complex.
