Joseph Ziccardi's twin-towered church replaces the parish's previous church, lost to fire
The parish's previous church, across Gun Hill Road, burned on December 23, 1923. Its replacement, this brick church with twin towers in an Italianate and Neo-Romanesque style, was built in 1925 to plans by architect Joseph Ziccardi. The parish, founded in 1902-03 for the neighborhood's Italians, is now run by Capuchin friars.
“The present Italianate - Neo-Romanesque brick twin-towered church, across Gun Hill Road from the previous church, was built in 1925, designed by architect Joseph Ziccardi.”
