This church is so stunning that even the BQE can’t make it look bad.
In the early 1870s Patrick Charles Keely, AKA the Prince of American Catholic Architects, designed Gothic-style St. Stephen Church. It is located on the corner of Hicks and Summit streets in what’s now known as Carroll Gardens.
It’s bright red brick and has a tall, tall spire with a cross on top that was lit at night. Mariners in New York Harbor could see it.
